I ran the first 200 miles on my Train with the stock bars and then I went with the H-D suggested replacements. Their specifically made for the Night Trains.

Turns out I didn't like the look of the Night Train bars although I won BOTM with them on.

I ended up with some street slammers. Monkyman had them on his Train and I had the chance to sit on the bike and test them out.

The Slammers have been on the bike for about 800 miles and their pretty comfortible. The wife & I just went for a 250 mile cruise through Vermont the other day and I had no problems with the pull-back, rise or the width of the grips. I'm 5'9 160 lbs.

 

As promised...here are the Pic of my 08 Train with the Wild1 500s installed:

 

Now that is what i call sweeeeeeeeeet.....

 

OLD Post brought back to life. Did you use the stock cables with the HD Slammers?

 

Internally-wired powdercoated black HD Street Slammers. LOVE them. TOTAL difference in comfort.

During installation:


And after:

 

I went with the Street Slammer, but wish I would have chosen the Wild One's. Slammer has a 7" rise and forget the model Chubby, but it has a 9" rise. Mine feel a little too low and may end up changing to mini apes. I am 6'1 by the way. Good luck.

 

It's funny to see how much everyones bikes have changed when someone revives an old thread.

 

I ran 8" Kury T-bars for a few years and they were OK. For me, its the width of the stock Train bars that hurts the most, not the pullback. If you have wide shoulders, you need wider bars. Risers alone won't get it.

 

I'm only 5'8" and changed the stock 6" risers to 8" and the ride feels good.
