Mine are the wide glide bars used between 2010 and 2016 but I did not use the wide glide risers and went for the pull back risers.
Bars come off this model

Bars come from a 2010 to 2016 wide glide

Did not leave risers on. Kind of like mini apes.




Older pic showing bars a little better:


I didn't even know wide glides came with those style, look almost like an ape/buckhorn style...cool train!

I have looked at them, lotsa pages of bantering makes it kinda time consuming, but there are lots of good ideas in there too. Another crappy thing is all the photobucket pics no longer work, so a lot of broken pics per say

I like the idea of those wide glide bars. I've been trying to find the specs of them, as well as those risers height, as it has me curious now to try those bars with the stock train risers...I just wonder if the pullback of the bars alone is enough to make a difference in comfort (I'm leaning towards a no on that if I had to guess).

Unfortunately the stock risers will not work unless they suit 1 3/4 bars which is what the 2010 and newer wide glide bars are.
There are plenty of cheap ones available, so you may have to buy a set to try.
Either that or find a good mate that may let you lend his to try.
Personally I love the wrist and ride position of them and I fitted numerous different bars before settling on the wide glide bars.
Another option is to find a set of deuce bars. Very similar in shape and style but will work with your current risers.
Sorry for not mentioning this sooner as I had these fitted to my bike and may even have a picture somewhere. Found them really good, just ended up going to the 1 3/4 option. The deuce bars are need up on a mates rocker c.

Thanks for the info! Never knew that about the deuce bars.

Sat on a bike the other night with the 8.5" drag specialties pullback risers...it was a dynamic and it was comfy, but just not sure how the look would be on the train. I feel like the added height and pullback because of the angle of the fork should be more then with the 6.5" risers. Anyone have 8.5" pullback risers on their train?? Pics??
