Default Handlebars

Does anyone know if HD makes the mini apes without any pull back at all. My wrists are at a terrible angle with the stock minis on my 06 Dyna.

You can check the handlebar chart on their website but I don't think so.

for me its a control factor as well. I out on the drag bars and rode with them for awhile and switched back to the stock bars. Wow, its a huge difference in controlling the bike. I feel like I have way more control with the drag bars on. It has everything to do with the lean and wrist angle for me. I guess I will have to look at some aftermarket stuff. I just feel that my wrists are at a weird angle with the stock bars on there.

Drag bars rock (off stock 06 Night Train) 'specially if your long limbed!

I have Street Slammers and like them better than the mini apes on my ex wifes bike. Comfort and control.

Dump the mini apes.I couldnt stand the way the bike handled with them on.From a performance standpoint,they are garbage.Get some pullback T bars and feel how much more responsive and comfortable your ride just became,not to mention they look a hell of a lot better!

Yeah I know what ya mean. I didnt like the angle that the stock buckhornbars put on my wrists so I installed a set of thebars thats on the 07 CVO Dyna and has just enough pullback and my arms are now at a more comfortableheight as well and no more odd angle in the wrists either. And an added bonus they lookalot better than the stock superglide bars.
