I just put drag bars on my 07 Softail Standard using the stock risers (41/2 in, I think) and as you can imagine it is VERY uncomfortable to ride for very long. I've found 61/2 and 91/2 in pullback risers but I'm unsure which to purchase. I want it to be comfortable but not so tall it takes away from the looks. Any advice?

 

I have an 05 NT with 6" straight risers. Put on a set of 6-1/2" pullback and much more comfortable. But be careful. Aftermarket pullback risers have blind holes. They aren't like O.E. risers that are threaded all the way through. Custom chrome take 1-1/4",5/16 n.c. thread bolts. Hard to find. I bought a set of chrome harley bolts and cut them down. I learned the hard way. I broke the first set of risers beacuse I used 1" bolts. And I ran a tap down the new riser threads so the bolts went in nice and smooth. This will save you some serious aggrevation. Good luck.

 

I have a set of 7" pull backs on my harley street slammers and I am very comfortable when riding. I love them, but it is a personal preference really.

Trevor,

 

With drag bars and the Standard's risers do bars hit the tank whenyou turn?!

 

Almost!! It's real close.

 

I have 8" risers and for me it's pretty comfortable.

how far before you have to change cables and wires?

 

Not sure. Just ordered the 6 1/2 inch pull back risers. I'll let you know the out come.

 

8.5" pullbacks here, comfortable

 

I concur with Trevor74702.

I have the Street Slammers on my 05 NT and love them. Perfect seating postion for my 5'7" frame.
