I have a 1979 fxs and was wondering if anyone knows the original width of the drag bars ?
Thanks

 

as i remember they had 10 different ones for any harley - comes down to how wide is comfortable / functional for what your doing flat track - drag racing - dirt biking

 

Welcome to the forums from Virginia..............

 

Thanks for the reply. Have had this bike for over thirty years and was trying to put it back to stock was the reason for asking about the drag bars. Have a set with the dot 5 brake fluid sticker that are 28”. Wish I could remember where I put the oem ones.

 

Mine is a 1200... But, FTF [From The Factory] 27 inches... but measures 28 with the Grips/throttle assy.
the black Dot5 sticker is between 3/4 and 1" from the Clamp..
You have a very clean example... But... I do Not remember Black Cases, nor Rockers, nor Fork Lowers, I believe they were a Silver color paint

 

Thanks. Figured someone would mention that. Lol Yes a bit of a regret but I painted that stuff and should have left it alone or used the proper colour.
Thanks for the reply... was helpful.

 

Yea... Couldn't help myself...especially since you desire the Originality!!!
I believe i have seen that Bike... Maybe another forum??
I am currently "testing" various Silver Paint.. as I am in No Hurry to re-assemble mine.. Leaning toward Self Etching Aircraft Paint just Now...
Or... I may just leave it look as Used as it is!!! Only Original Survivor Once!!!!

 

Am sure some day I will paint the parts the proper colour again. That was the problem with the silver, tried a few different ones and couldn’t get the proper shade of silver. Should have left it alone as the old paint wasn’t that bad !! Lesson learned. I have owned the bike since the late 80s and never posted a picture of it till today.

 

That sir is a very nice looking bike

 

Thanks
