Default Drag bars
Are there any drag bars out there that work on a Dyna that allows you to keep speedometer and dumby lights?

Default RE: Drag bars
I got HD drag bars.. With 6" pullback risers... I don't know what you mean by "dumby lights", the idiot lights or directionals? There is no problem as far as the idiot lights go as they're part of the speedo... But, using stock risers with drag bars your directionals may hit the tank....

did your speedo mount to the riser the same as the stock, if so was there enough extra cable and wires to do this without cutting and spicing?

I used a 03 Sportster drag bar and milled risers from a Softail. No cutting or splicing. I had to make 2 spacers , And had to open up the speedo mounting holes to mount it to the headlight mounting holes. Here's what it looks like.

That's what I was talkin' about... you don't need to remount speedo... just remove the old bars and put the drag bars on... But, like I said the existing risers may not allow the bar controls and directionals to clear the tank... spaces under the existing risers would lift the bars, but they may still be close.... I didn't change any wires or cables...
