Default FXDF - Fat Bob handlebars / big sissy bar
Look for pics of handlebar/riser mod's you've done with your FXDF.

1.) I'm looking to lean less forward and ride more straight up, my arms aren't super long, and I'm considering new risers, beach bars or mini apes, something.

2.) I'm going sort of towards the black-out look and want to find a tall black sissy bar as I think the look kicks *** and they're good for gear too. In conjunction with that a black fender rack.

G'nite!

All of these set ups use the same cables:

Very Helpful!

Thanks... The lowrider setup looks great. I thought about the lowriders and getting the 6" pullback risers (OEM) to begin with. Lots of possibilities, tough to pull the trigger.

There may be some one with a 2010 WG that would want to trade for the FXDF drag bars.

I put these on this weekend. They are 2" spacer and i got them from here:http://www.spacerjim.com/HarleySpacers.html. This is his website picture. They moved the stock bars up and back alittle. Definetly made it feel like I wasnt "reaching" for them!

Sig photo includes the HD pull back risers with stock bars. These risers only come in chrome I think. My arms are comfortable but wrists are not. I need to fiddle with them a bit.

How do you like the comfort of the bars now? I've been looking into doing this, and this is the first pair of spacers I've seen.

All Harley parts, tho in '09 when I got the rack it only came in chrome, so I had it powder coated. The risers ar up 6" and back an inch or two, stock cables...
