Default suggestions please!!

Hi guys love the forum. Im new here and I need some help. Ive come a long way on making my 06 deuce my own (chrome rear wheel, lowered, pro one sinnaster wheel, liscense plate relocated ,etc) but I cannot decide on handlebars. I like the drag bar look but don't like the long riser view from the front. Any suggestions and pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the fourm. I don't know if their stock or after market but 2kids3pets has a nice set of bars on his bike.
I'm pretty sure they are after market. Look at this link below.

Well I had these bars (chubby 507's) on for a little more than a year........never really liked how they looked from the front



These were tall would recommend 501's

Just went to these 2 weeks ago 14" chubby apes and I love the look and comfort much more!!

Welcome. How often do you look at your bike from the front while you are on it? It is my experience that things "I don't like" usually grow on me pretty quick. I am one taht believes in form over function in the end. If a bar is more comfortable but looks kinda funny, the comfort far out weighs the look. Knowing that you are a Harley guys as am I, I would suggest searching and searching for pics via Google until you find something you like as I know when I put something I don't like I end up changing again. So I have contradicted myself here, but take your time on this decision. The best thing to do is go somewhere you can see what you are looking for on a bike in person.
