School me on drag bars
Ok so I know nothing on drag bars and need some explaining on the different kinds. Also pics would be great the bike is a 2014 Iron. Also how do the drag bars feel on the shoulders? I was just informed today that I may potentially have 2 torn ligaments in my right shoulder (no big deal) so I cant go up with the bars like I planned.

Drag bars are basically just flat, no rise handlebars. Some have varying degrees of pull back some are broomstick straight. Really just depends on what you want. I have mine down turned a but, has me lean forward more which I find highway riding easier to be at anyhow, but you will have to stretch forward more than sitting straight up right if thats what your looking for. More aggressive, but I like them.

I don't have these bars on my bike anymore. But they where broomstick bars with a 6 inch riser.
Made me sit forward. Which was nice at first. Kinda like a cafe style. But I changed them out for mini apes for more comfort.
If your interested I still have the broomstick bars. I'd sell them cheap.

i had the harley mini apes on my sporty ---
but because of my accident on my other scoot and with the injuries to my shoulder an arm an ribs i could not use them any longer -
i got drag bars -- i can ride all day without any shoulder pain ..
it was a problem to keep my arm up while riding more then 1 hour
the drag bars are perfect i dont have to hold the arm up so yeah the drag bars def helped me for that almost same reason ..

Have em, love em. They really make the tipping point on the bike a bit more drastic which means (at least for me) that if you have that stock iron exhaust that you will probably be scrapping it quite often. But as everybody stated, they are just flush with your risers and have a slight degree of pullback which a lot of peopole such as myself and Zanejjnelson1 point down. I have no pain riding with them although I am also short and have youth on my side. But mine is also a 14 so they can give you a great idea how they would look.

I'm 26 as of today actually, growing up so fast!!! -_-, but for me it doesn't really bother me at all honestly, maybe its because I'm younger though? I'm like 5'11 or 6' so with my forwards it puts me into the C shape a little but but I kind of like it. To me it feels like my back is stretched out a little bit, but I also have passenger pegs so I can put my feet back on them and sit more straight backed or relaxed however and it doesn't bother me either way.
