yeah, I like the way they look, but I ride to work sometimes (approx 50 miles one way) and they wear me out.

I have a set of drags, off my 2001 springer. They were on for 2 weeks before I went straight broomstick.Controls and cables wont interchange I dont think, but would trade bars for bars?

thanks johnston, but I think the bars are different too. The risers are on different centers.

ORIGINAL: 99embrey

Thinking of trading my apes complete with braided cables and controls for nice set of drag bars complete with braided cables and controls. Controls would need to be off 2007 model so plugs would interchange. I could trade without controls too, but would rather not. I'd rather leave the apes with the wiring already ran inside. Its just easier that way.
I have stock drag bars and risers from my 2007 night train. If you want tobuy them I am open and flexibleon a price.

Do you still have the Chubbys? I have an 07 FXST with HD Steet Slammers. All braided cables and internal wiring. I am really looking for some 16" Chubbys and would be interested in trading. How old are your bars? Get back to me or email me at wdbarker@hotmail.com.
