Any Night Train owners try this?
Pullback Riser and Handlebar Kit for FXSTB Models
With a subtle curve that also adds an element of style, these pullback risers with flat bar brings the handlebars approximately 5" closer to the rider (as compared to stock FXSTB) without compromising the original styling of your Night Train®. Perfect for riders without a long reach or for riders who prefer sitting a little straighter in the saddle. Designed for use on FXSTB models with stock cables.
Part Number 56029-00
Curious as to how it might look and would it make it easier on the back?

The closer a riding position gets to sitting completely upright,the more weight is shifted onto your butt and tailbone.
Maybe that riser withthe stock dragbars,that might be interesting.

RE: Any Night Train owners try this?
nice kit. i have some 6 inch pullback risers on my bike now with the stock bars. i like them ok, although they're coming off next week and 8 inch street slammer style bars are going on in their place. if you decide to do any bar change i highly recommend getting some polyurethane bushings to replace stock rubber bushings. also, i'm not sure if you're set on your parts having to be hd. you might be able to savesome dough onbars, risers, and bushings if you go aftermarket.

While I loved the look of the stock risers/drag bars, it was too uncomfortable on long rides, for me. I ended up with Deuce risers and an XL1200 bar, which moved the controls closer, and raised 'em up. Much more comfy, now. The above comment about putting more weight on your butt is true, though. Unexpected bumps can be jarring.

RE: Any Night Train owners try this?
I'm thinking about the same kit. So let me know what you think
.I'm also considering the "street slammer" bars Hammer has on his. I need something a little closer and a little wider. I have a very hard time seeing behind me,

I have that kit, but took it off when I put on my high bars. I have a pic of the setup and I'll look for it when I get home tonight.

RE: Any Night Train owners try this?
I also bought this kit and installed it. I thought it would help the usual fatigue issues associated with drag bars, and HD sells this as"without compromising the original styling of your Night Train®".
Frankly, after I installed it, I hated the style. It totally took away from the character of my Train. It looked like a plain jane Softail.
I ended up buying 9.5" pull back risers from j&P for $65 (500-740) and I LOVE them!! Using the stock Drag bar, it reduces the reach by about the same 5" as claimed with the HD kit and it retains the nastiness of the Train...
The pictures in my gallery are of the kit installed, prior to going with the 9.5" risers.
Check them out!!
P.S., anybody want to buy a slightly used bar kit? HD Part Number 56029-00
