Default Drag Bars

Hi all, first post here. I have an '04 Sporty 1200C and want to put some drag bars on it. What are some cheaper bars, and my main question is what kind of hardware and/or riser do I need? Or do I even need a riser? Any diifferent hardware to re-mount my grips, cables, etc? Thanks

i bought mine for my '05 883c from j&p cycles for like 30 bucks. didn't buy a riser or anything just mounted them right up and rode. they are 32 inches wide. let me know if you want the part number i love them...i also ran all my wires for switches inside the bars so it's nice and clean with no wires hangin down....all stock cables fit.

If you have the Custom will will want to stay with teh stock riser since that is where all your cables and wires run. Other wise your gonna have to get creative to hide all the speedo wiring and stuff. I got my drags from harley for about 40 bucks I think.

J&P for me too, all the stock cables worked out fine, 32' and the signals stay about 1/2' away from the tank. Anything approaching 200 miles and my arms started falling asleep with the buckhorns.
