Opinions On Pullback Risers on My Night Train
I took a ride a while back that was about 500 miles round trip and with the drag bars on my Night Train my back was totally f-ed. It took me a week to recover from it. The problem is.... I have to reach way too much because of the height of my stock bars.
The stock risers are 6 inch, so I need something significantly longer than that to make a difference.
I like the drag bars so want to stay with them, so I'm thinking anything between 9 inch (which is 3 inches longer than stock) all the way up to 14 inch (8 inches longer than stock) pullback risers.
I'm definitely leaning towards at least 12 inches since I like the look of the "tall drag bars".
Pic below of the ones I'm considering..... Second pic is a close-up of how the stock 6" risers are. Definitely not long enough.....
What do you guys think?

I have to agree with the other posters; risers taller than 8" Iook goofy with drag bars. I have the same issue with my train. I've been looking at Wild 1 WO500 drag bars, 6" rise and I get an extra 5" of pullback over the stockers.
I considered 10-12" apes but I'd need to do some test riding before I dropped the coin on the parts for that swap...

I run 8" pull backs with drag bars on my train. Very comfortable and I like the look but to each his own.

Yeah Disco, I'll vote an all in one like the street slammers. I actually took them off my train because the pull back was too much for me. Made my shoulders hurt but I have somewhat long arms. That's why I went to apes
