Whats the difference between a t bar and a drag bar, Wild 1 has a 10" drag and a 10" T?

DynaStorm are you using the stock cables? Those bars look great. I have an 09 FXDC and would like the bars higher so I am not leaning forward as much, I was thinking risers with the buckhorns but after seeing your scoot I think I found what I am looking for. Did you put them on yourself, if so how did it go? Not interested in paying a grand to have them installed.

Thanx for the comments!..I love 'em...Am using stock cables/brake/clutch, I thought I would need brake cable, but simply re-positioned the fitting, so it points downward. I find these much more comfortable, not hunched over. and Yep, did the install mahself...was straightforward...one thing I would change, is to lift the tank, to access wiring, and pull the pins to avoid cutting and resplicing harness...the only small aside, was avoiding a pinched power lead for run/kill switch. Wild1 has a few useful tech tips on their site to help out with this.

normally a drag bar is a bar with no rise and some pull back. a broomstick has no pull back. these bars need risers.

a Tbar obviously doent use a separate riser.

but i am sure the wild1 site shows non tbars as i described, as drag bars.

the problem may also be related to bars made for springer front ends because they have diff mounting spacing. wild 1 maybe trying to differentiate between 2 otherwise similar in appearance bars.

t-bars have a straight riser, the drags have a curved riser.
