Default Nightrain Drag Bar Suggestions ?
Contemplating changing out my stock drag bars for a set of pullback T Bars. The stock drag bars have a 6 inch rise so I was curious if anyone out there has recently changed their bars to the setup I am looking at and what size did you go with or wish you had gone with ? I was about to pull the trigger on a nice set of Carlinis but they were only a 5 inch rise and I thought that would be way too short as far as clearance around the speed housing, etc. If anyone an give me their suggestions or recommendations along with a few pictures ...that would be awesome.


Thanks Butch

I put on the Harley 6" pullback risers on my Night Train. Brought the bars back 1-3/4". No clearance problems or wiring changes required. Very pleased with the change.

My son had these on his 03 Nighttrain. "Street Slammers' I believed they were called.
