I think Kuryakan however you spell it has some z-shaped peg adapters that will move the pegs back now. they were in the 60.00 range MT.

Congrats on joining the NT family! As G said head over to the NT pic thread, we'll be happy to spend your money for you!

As for the above question, JayBrake (www.jbrake.com) does offer forward controls that bring your feet back. Pricey though...

5'6"??? have you tried a sportster, or a big wheel? j/k. i didnt read all the posts so i dont know if it was mentioned yet or not, but harley sells a pullback kit just for night trains. this kit includes the pullback risers and a set of handlebars. and you wont have to change your cables using this kit. if the drag bar look is a must (as it is to me) then there are planty of pullback t-bars or risers out there that will work fine, but you will be looking at your shoulders a lot in the mirrors.

Hehe! Sportster and big wheels are not my thing...!

I'll check the Harley kit to see if I like it and if not I'll check what's available for me aftermarket and get something quickly because the more I ride it, the more it gets stiff for the shoulders...Thanks for you input and your sense of humor!

Have you checked out the street slammer bars? Pull back risers and bars all in one piece...you can find them pretty cheap in the classified section and I have a real nice pair that I'll dump for cheap. Here's a pic of them when I bought my train.

Hmmmm...sounds interesting. How much wider are they compared to the stock drag bars and how much closer/higher than the drags? Send me a PM or a email at mistertribal@gmail.com

Combination of Cygnusx51's bars and a reach seat from one of the various manufacturers sounds like a solution.

I just checked and saw that these seats brings you closer to the bar and pedals. Thanks for the tip, that is an awesome idea!

Congrats on the Night Train. I have no trouble with my mirrors and seeing behind me with my 8" pullbacks. I think the street slammers are wider however than the stock handle bar (which I didn't want) so they may suit you better.
Have you posted any pics of your bike yet?
