Just got around to going to Wild 1 website. Pretty dam cool and it looks like they come back some too. Do you some pics of your bike/bars?

This is the only pic I currently have of the bars installed. I'll try to get more over the next couple days. It's pretty much the same as my sig pic.

JR- so to duplicate your set up, one would need purchase only the bars and the risers? That sounds tempting; when I add up the cost of all the cables, etc., I start to have second thoughts. I really don't care for the look of the stock bars, though, and the NBB look fantastic. Looks like it might pronate your wrists a bit, though. I have to laugh at the changes I'm already contemplating, though- I haven't even picked up my 09 FB yet...will tomorrow, weather permitting!

I have the Burly 1.25" drag bars on mine. I like them, I feel much more in control of the bike - it's a more agressive riding position.

They are white bros medium rise. I'm 5'6" and the bars are perfect for me.

B&C,
The seat on your bike looks comfortable. Could you tell me Make and model? How wide is it? My HD Brawler is killing me.

I love the look and feel of drag bars on a fattie. The only wobble I had was from the dry-rotted front tire that was on the bike I bought it. New tire = no wobble.
