Default 2011 WG want new bars...Need Ideas!
I've had my '11 wide glide for a year and a half now and I'm not too fond of the drag bars...looking at the RSD Short stack...anyone have any feedback with those or others... I'm a masters student so I don't want to pay $500+.. any ideas welcomed...thanks in advance.

You're not fond of the drag bars? Are they super low? Wild 1 Chubby 500's are where it's at...

What is it about drag bars you don't like? You have a few very inexpensive options with just changing risers.

4" Pullback risers are one option that would be cheapest and most likely not require a cable change, 8" T-Bars are also a good option, but there are tons more.
