springer handle bars
trying to decide for bars on my fx springer. 6" risers with drag bars, wild 1 chubby single piece pull back drag bars, or medium heighth apes. Any one have any experiences, comments or suggestions on any of these.
Thanks
Dave

I went from 12" to 18" to \\;20"s on my springer. I did change out the top trees to Arlen Ness. It allowed me to run standard risers. I kept stripping the screws on the stock risers.

I am not a fan of Apes...to each their own I guess
I installed a set of Wild Chubby one piece Drag Bars and did the internal wiring thing

RE: springer handle bars
Hey Dave,
I had the buckhorn bars on my 2002 and hated them!! I went with stock 6"
risers and the 510 Dresser \\;bars from WildOnes and am extremely happy.
I even had one of the guys pick out a blem bar for me for about half price and
can't even see the blem! I need to send in a pic of mine as it is the only FXSTS with those bars, all the rest are on FL's.
I considered the one piece drags but don't like lack of adjustability.
If I went drag style I would have gotten their pull back risers and the drags
attached to those. Here is a link to a nice setup 2003 \\;one customer did. Not cheap by any means but the nicest springer drag setup I've ever seen!
This guy must have every chrome softail piece made LOL!!!
This is a shot of the 565 fixed Drag bars, look good too!
This pic of a nice deuce has 504's on it which are same dimensions as my 510's
and give you an idea of the look I went for.
And here is a pic of my baby!!
Hope this helps!!
