Do you love your drag bars?
If you do, I wanna see em. I'd like to get some for my 2012 WG. Inspire me. Sorry if this has been discussed before but my search did not render much of what i'm looking for. Feed back on comfort looks and install is appreciated. Thank you

Mine are 36in wide, I think a 5in pull back on 6in risers on my 05 FXDC. I like them, but I think I'll cut em down an inch either side 36 is just a bit wide for my liking, and I am 6'3".. I wanted 34in but the Co I bought from didnt have 34's in stock and I am very impatient so I took the 36's

I just installed narrow (27.5'') drag bars on my wide glide, love them, after riding all day on them today, I can conclude that they are comfortable, look good, handle great and lane splitting is now a breeze haha.

When I was deciding between the Wide Glide and Fat Bob, one of the things I liked were the stock Fat Bob bars.....so when I decided to go WG I had them installed using the stock WG risers. Made a big difference in comfort and a much leaner look.

32" wide 2" rise drags with 4" of pullback on 6" straight risers. The pullback is the key for me. After riding BMX and mountains bikes and dirtbikes, my wrists can't handle more than 4" or so. I had 10" Z bars before but they were narrower and moved in the clamps a lot. These feel rock solid.

I dont like the rise in the stock WG bars (looks goofy to me) and I dont like the offset on the stock 5" WG risers. I bought some street slammers off another member here but I think Im going to end up switching to a 6" straight riser and a flat drag bar. I think it will look better and provide a little more reach for me.
