I was lookin for pull back risers thinkin i could keep the look of the stock bars. But i found the carlini blems for a litle bit more than risers went with them. Couldnt be happier and the 1.5 inch tubing looks killer on the train.

I had the same problems as most. Back and neck hurt with stock handlebars on 06 train. I put the 7" Carlini Cleansweep bars on and it made a world of difference. I can ride till I have to refuel now without ANY pain. When I changed out my bars I also put a mustang seat on. Great combination.

I just went from a nightster to a night train. I couldn't be happier! I did go to 6 1/2" pullback risers. I could see going wider as well. The pullbacks made a hell of a difference though.

took a trip to the dragons tail last year, i have an 07 train. i left home on the bike (i live 15 min south of detroit mi) i had 3 days. forgot to put the trip meter on until Cincinnati Ohio, and logged over 2300 miles in 3 days. here is a pic of me riding the dragons tail and a couple others.
i never had a problem with comfort, i also have the bike lowered obviousley, 2 1/2 inch drop in the front and 2 inch drop in the back and the preload on the shocks stiffened up all the way so i wont bottom out. the bars are 18" rise Nash gimp hangers with 1" risers.
