Default Drag Bar Pics???

I'm trying to decide which drag bars to put on my standard. Anybody have pics and details of what they used? I think I want a set of the "t" style bars instead of having seperate risers. I've been looking at the ones in J&P. I see they have 6", 8", and 10" rise. I know someone out there can help me. Thanks. And by the way, did you have to change your wiring or cables?

I used the wild1 501 bars. They have a 8" rise. Here is the link to some pics on their site http://www.wild1inc.com/wo500a.html I did not have to lengthen the wires or cables. I don't have pics of my bike yet. I ordered mine through www.cyclespot.com and got a great deal.

I have these. Hand position is very similar to stock but it straightens your wrist and lets you sit back a little more. I've put about 1000 miles on the bike since adding them and like them a lot. Stock cables and wiring. Had to reroute the clutch and brake cable. Sig is the only pic I have at the moment. A member named JLOCKHART29 has the same bars on his standard and he has more pics in his gallery - HERE. And I second the endorsement of Cyclespot.com great prices and fast shipping. I had mine in 3-4 days.

I put drag bars on the fatty and love them. Unfortunately, I don't know what size they are. I just went by feel at the shop.

9" pullbacks, Wild 1 drags non incorporated risers though. I wanted the ability to fine tune the bar pitch.

4merRacer: I would guess your's are around 8". I have the 6" and the bottom of the bar is almost level with the top of the speedo.

I went thru Custom Chrome and got the 7" rise. I wish I had got the 6" rise.

Heres 8" Accutronix risers and broomstick bar by flanders. If your arms aren't long you won't reach.

Here's a picture of my Deuce with Carlini Clean-Sweeps 7 inch rise inch and a half dia. I am 5'10" with a 32 inseam and find the reach just perfect.
