Nighttrain bars
Morning all -
 \\;
I've been looking at picking up a nighttrain, but I'm not exactly like the riding position with the stock bars. \\; Anyone change their bars on the nighttrain, any recommendations?

RE: Nighttrain bars
Depends,
If you are tall like me (6-4 "), you are going to like the stock bars (like straight bars), my arms are straight out there and everyone that gets on my bike really digs the stance on the bike, kind of an aggressive stance. My buddy who is 5-10", is a little stretched out reaching with the stock bars..
I thought I was going to change my bars, but riding all my friends who have apes, and other types of bars, im sticking with stock..
Go test ride to see if it fits you and you like the stance.

If you feel as thought they are a stretch, I like what Rockerhead did, just get all black ones :-)
Im not big into Apes on longer rides, but they do look nice.

RE: Nighttrain bars
Ive got a set of the Harley Street Slammers on there.. I didnt really wanna change bars, but I got such a good price I figured I would put them on and see how I liked them and come to find out I like the hell out of em.. You can get a Drag SPecialties set for much cheaper.. \\;
