Default Pull back risers on a Night Train, Who's got what?

I'm thinking I'd like to go to a pull back riser of some sort for better long ride comfort. Anybody got 8 or 9 " pull backs? How do you like them? Where'd ya get them?

Thanks!

I had the NT straight risers on my '07 FXST. Swapped them out for Carlini Original T-Bars- 7" rise 7" pullback. Made a huge difference.

I have the bombay bars on my bike. They are lower than stock but pull back quite a bit. So far I like them.

I think I have the same risers as jd8181, price sounds right and I also got mine from the stealer. I bought a Wildone dragbar and I think it has a little more pullback than the stock train bar. Well between the 2 the bars feel real nice.

I have the 6.5" pullbacks as well. I like them, but I am thinking about swapping out for the t-bars soon. I got the risers from Dennis Kirk, I think they were around $60 dollars.

If you want comfort.. put a set of Wide Glide bars on your NT.
I rode 600-700 miles a day and didn't get any back or arm pain.
