MAX -

How Tall are your risers. I have a set of Drag bars but have not mounted them because The risers I got were to LOW. I think Tall risers might make a difference.

Had them on all my bikes for the past 26 years. \\\\\\;

I have White Bros drag bars. 9" rise, 6" back and 1.5" in dia. Mine are mediums, but you can get a tall(12") and a short(7").

I love the look of the Carlini bars. But how does the bike handle with drag bars?

Thanks for the pics, keep them coming. Not sure I like the look of the drag bars that have a lot of rise to them, but maybe a drag bar with low rise would suit me. And would a drag bar and auxiliary light kit kill the look? Anyone with a low rise drag bar and deluxe auxiliary light kit on a 07 FatBoy have any photos to share?
