Street Slammers?


The long reach on the stock drag bars was my one and only complaint (other than stock pipes) for the Night Train. More comfortable bars are easy to find, but wanted to keep the sleek, low profile drag style.
The Street Slammers ended up being perfect, both visually and comfortable enough for my reach for long rides.

I think they look good enough on the NT's that they should have been the stock bars.

those are buffalo 1 1/4 bars,they said 8 inch rise and 8 1/4 pool back,but by my measurement they are little over 9 inch rise and 8 inch pool back.I am a 6ft tall and those bars have little more pool back for my taste,but I can not complain to much because they are comfy as hell.

I like drag bars, got em on my Vmax so will keep the beach bars on my Fattie.

Yours look good, match the bike well and bet they feel great going down the road - but not sure about the red rag? Is there a story behind it? I keep a microfiber towel in my side bag for fill ups - flat paint and gas don't mix.

Looks good Sash. If you don't like 'em, you could always swap them out with the bars on that little pink bike in the background!

In my opinion you can't beat the look of the stock drag bars that come on the NT. But I ended up replacing the 6" straight risers with 8" pullbacks and even though they don't look as good, the riding position is so much more comfortable. I'm really happy with the results.

I think it looks good, the double T bars look a lot cleaner too, IMO. No top clamp or nuthin' Makes for a slick look
