Default drag bars + risers for FXDFSE?

Hi All,

have an 09 Fat Bob CVO and want to change out the bars. Im 6'3" and find the stock buckhorns keep my arms too low and uncomfortable. Can anyone that may have had a similar problem give some details on t bars V risers etc. I love the look of the stock drag bars on the fat bob so am leaning that way.

Appreciate any help/pics in advance
Cheers
Ash

It's trial and error. You can go to a dealer, sit on some bikes with similar bars. Or Harley Dealer can do a fit-up for you and your bike. But nothings guaranteed. Everyone's comfort position differs.

I'm running Drag bars with 8" rise and 4" pull back. A friend of mine (really!) has ridden it and says they're just about right for him, he's about your size.
