hey guys.. getting ready to put a set of drag bars on my softail and was wondering about the width... what is the width of the drag bars on some of your bikes... i have a set that is 27" on the bench but im worried that they are too narrow.. thanks a bunch.

 

I think stock Night Train bars are 28" and that is way too narrow for me.

 

which softail? i just had a set made by BR Customs for my nitetrain that are 28" wide. I like the narrow width for lane-splittin in california. To me they are comfy my arms are straight out at about shoulder width.... Go to the BR Customs website and there is an excellent "how-to" page to measure what is comfy for handlebars ....

most t-bars are approx 31 inches wide. I have Carlini bars on 2 of my bikes...

 

i have the wide drag bars on my 02 fxst and i love them they are 38" with the grips on them, had to use long stem mirrors with stock risers hope this helps

 

Off the top of my head, I want to say that my Carlini T-Bars are about 31.5" wide (without grips on).

 

Mine are 31.5. Stock night train bars were 28. The 28 to 31.5 was night and day better to me

 

thanks guys...

 

Hey man, do you have any pictures of the new BR Customs on your train? I'm looking into some new low drag bars for my bike and wanted to see how your setup looks. Thanks!

 

Ill download some later
my signature pic is with the Carlini Lowdown bars on my train
If you are in town I might have the train at El Cajon HD on saturday
they are havin a tattoo contest and carne asada cookout

theres someone on this list that has 4 inch risers and stock bars on his train thats where i got my inspiration...

 

Thanks hksigman. I like the fat low look of the Carlini lowdowns. They are definitely an option I am considering. I'm also thinking about the biltwell tracker bars with a 1" or 2" rise. I'll have to look for that train you mentioned with stock bars and 4" risers. I think I still have that old setup somewhere in the garage.

RE: El Cajon HD - I won't be able to ride for a couple weeks, messed up my ankle. Have a good time. Need to catch up with you sometime and check out the bikes.
