Default Suggestions for bars
Hey guys,

SO i am about two weeks into my first Harley. I bought a 2007 Dyna Super Glide. SO far i have put the HD super Tuner, Air breather, 2-into-2 Big Radius Vance & Hines, & some lowering shocks. The guy who had the bike before me put a set of Drag bars & some 6" Risers and forward Controls on the bike. I am 5'8" so i am a little stretched... So the next order of business is changing the bars. Any ideas for the bars?? I see alot of you go with the Mini APes, but I don't those will work for me... Anay bars go good with the 6" Risers I already have? See pic below...


THanks in advance for anyone who throws there 2 cents in!

Just get whatever fits you and makes you comfortable. Any other advice will just be what people like to look at and not what works for you.

Personally i like drag bars, I have chromewerks 27" bar with 6"x1.25" chubby risers. I like them alot but i may get a set of pullback (7-8") risers in the future.

Good luck...

An easy fix for you would be to change your risers. Go with some 9" risers and bit of pullback and that should put you into a good position.

I vote for taller risers and mid controls. Forwards on Dyna's don;t really work for me. A set of highway pegs will do the trick for long trips. You can probably find someone who will trade you for mids so it can be done at little to no cost for the foot controls.
