Default Drag Bar Dilema...HELP!

Can someone here point me to a set of drag bars that are 1-1/4" and reduce down to 1" at the risers, but on 3-1/2" centers instead of the solid pipe size reduction. Thing is I have individual risers not the solid riser cap and I want to use fat drag bars and all I can find is the bars that reduce down at like 4-3/4" centers for springers. Am I stuck getting the drag bars with the integral risers, not lookin for that. Also I like my risers and am not looking for 1-1/4" risers, just to get drag bars that are 1-1/4" down to 1" at each individual riser.

I've never seen 'em. Haven't been shopping for drag bars though...

I think you're either going to have to get a one piece top clamp for stepped bars, or go get 1 1/4" risers.

Good luck and post pics if you find 'em!

I have these with the matching risers but they will fit with the stock risers and top clamp.

I think the dude wants a 1 1/4" bar that steps down to 1" for EACH riser, then back to 1 1/4" in the center...

Damn....Now that I reread it I see what he meant.

I don't think that there's a bar that does that. Originally I wanted the billet risers that have the Iron cross machined into the cap and I couldn't find a suitable bar as I was concerned about the same thing. I got tired of looking and went with the setup I posted. Sorry for the confusion!

No worries, thanks for lookin Damage. I guess Im just SOL. I'll keep checkin and if I find something I'll post it up here for everyone else in case someone else wants one. I would think if they do it for the springers they should do it for the other harley too - oh well.
