Drag Bars on FXD
Looking at trading in my Sportster taking advantage of the buy back program. I have looked/sat on some of the Dynas though I haven't been able to test ride any.
What it comes down to is that I have found the Fat Bob to be the most comfortable of any of the bikes. I think most of that is because the Fat Bob has a drag bar.
Just wondering if drag bars will fit on a Superglide FXD, especially since that bike has the handlebar mounted speedometer.

I thing the FXD has integrated risers. You could swap the bars but not the risers if that is the case. Then again, are the bars on the fat Bob 1" or 1 1/4". You know, that is a good question. I guess I just don't know.

O.K. I just looked at HD's site and I believe I am wrong about the risers. I thought in 08 they went integrated to the top tree but maybe that was just on the Steet Bob. Hard to tell from the pictures though.

Yes you can run drag bars on a FXD. Accutronix and Carilini make some options for mounting the speedo along with some others.
I put the 07 FXDSE bars on mine whcih are a drag style bar and like them alot.
Edit: the fxd doesnt have integrated risers thats just the Street Bob.

bberck, that is one fine looking bike.
Sort of the look I would like. Possibly would like to go with a side by side tach-speedo that is on my 1200 Roadster.

You can use the same mount as your roadster on the super glide with tbars. The accutronix bracket can be used with that combo mount.

Getting away from the original topic for a moment here, but what kind of seat is that on your scoot. Really like the deep bucket shape on it. How is it for comfort on a longer ride?
