My Dyna Super Glide Custom is just a bit too small for me, out of the box. I'm 6'3", and the mid controls just weren't working for me so I added forward controls, and now I really want to raise my handlebars. I'm new to the aftermarket circuit, so I hope that you can help me out.

I know that I can buy new handlebars or risers to raise up bars. I imagine that risers are cheaper and easier to install. What brands/options should I be looking for? If handlebars are cheaper and/or easier to install, I'll go that route.

Any suggestions are helpful.

 

I have a 09 super glide custom and I am having a hard time finding dragbars for it. I talked with demon cycles and they said they had no drag bars to fit a 09. I want 6inch risers with drags. If anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Risers are easier, and cheaper. I am also 6'3" and added 4 1/2 riers, just a couple of inches makes a big improvement, although I kept the mids, I like to shift around a bit and that's easier w/ mids. Prouddawg try Wild 1, they make some nice drag bars and risers, 1.25" they have a nice fat look. I just ordered their WO 511 drag bars and 6" risers WO 528, although the stock bars(buckhorns w/ 4.5" risers are fine, I want something a little more aggressive) Hope this helps.

 

your 09 has a top tripple tree with the bar mounts built into it.I just bought a 09 stree bob and what ya have to do is buy a new upper tripple tree that allows you to run risers like the 07 and older ones.Heres the catch...go to hd and try to order it off a 07.....the part# is superseated to the new one and no one has the old ones . V-twin has just the top tripple tree right in stock..thats what your gonna have to do to go to the raiser-drag bar setup.Let me know if ya have any questions cause i just did 2 of them....Kevin

 

This only applies to the 08 & 09 Street Bobs. The other Dynas have normal top trees.

 

Simple: Buy new Risers that fit 1" bars (height is up to u) and then get 1-1/4" Bars that shrink to 1" at the clamp.

I ditched mine and got 9" risers with 32" Drags.

 

Thanks for the reply.

So, you have stock handlebars on a 07 Dyna Superglide and installed risers? Can you send me a picture? What brand risers to you suggest?

 

Thanks. Can you send a photo of the buckhorns with 4.5" risers? I'd like to see what I'm getting into.

 

ya...I suggest cheap risers as I am...cheap! hahahaaa
If you go with DRAG BARS I suggest at least 6" Pullback risers....even 9" like mine as they are REALLY Comfortable in combination with the Drags. Handling is also markedly improved.
30" Buffalo Drags 1-1/4" accepts regular risers

Heres some 8" Pullback Risers

Those (or other choices similar) will get you a look like this:

 

Thanks. So, you, like me, are 6'3" and cheap.

I'm going to keep my stock Buckhorn handlebars and add risers. With the Buckhorn handlebars, what height of risers do you suggest for comfort riding?
