Default Flanders Drag Bars
I got black Flanders drag bars for my bike. Since they are only 26.5" wide the controls would hit the tank. I Got a foot of 1" 6061 Al tube with .250 wall at the local metal supply for $7 and cut off two 1" spacers and painted black......new longer riser bolts and I am in business.

Looks like those will suit you fine on the street and the strip Todd.

Good choice. Good job.

When I got the bike in 06 I bought an Arlan Ness big sucker 2 and a machinist at work made that cover for me. He was a real artist but unfortunately I moved on and have lost communication with him.
The shift light is Dynatek and a must have! It is around $160 on ebay and I have mine set to light up at 5750 that way I will not run into my rev limiter if I am late to shift. That is a Pingle kill switch with rider lanyard that it is mounted to........
