Pullback Drag Bars - Need info
Greetings,
I have a newly bought FLD. Took it out for a good ride last Sat and came home w/ a cramp in my left forearm. I'm sure part of this is a heavier clutch than I'm used to, but also it feels like the handlebar puts my wrist in a less than optimal position.
A few bikes ago, I had a Yamaha Roadstar that I had put drag bars on. I immediately noticed the bars gave much better leverage in turns. I think they were 6" drags. On the FLD, I'd like to go a little longer, maybe 8", maybe even 10"...not sure.
Any recommendations on current pullback drab bars? Also, any pics w/ a mention on how long the bars are would be great.
Thanks!

I bought some bk rider bars off amazon and am really happy with them for 90 bucks.

Bk riders is a company. All the specs are in the link I put up. They are 8" bars but with the pullback they come close to stock as far as the cables go. (a little higher) but the wrist angle is much improved. The chrome is great quality, you can spend 3 times the amount for the same bars and the biggest difference is you won't see the welds.
