Handlebars

Hello Everyone,
I have searched the forum but do not have the terminology to understand many of the posts, so please forgive my ignorance. I have the Drag Bars?? on my 03 XLC. Is there a more comfortable bar (old school type) that I can install without re-cableing? Who sells it and what is it called?
Thanks in advance

I put buckhorns on a 2001XLC and it made the ride much better. Unfortunately, recabling was required.

Me thinks you may be hosed as far as re-cabling. I switched from buckhorns to longhorns on mine and like it much better.

hi paul,
like others have said you probably need to figure on the re-cable, since you have the drag bars and are looking for more of a pulled back look. there are several different kinds and pretty reasonably priced too. you can search the HD catalog or go for ebay once you know the type you like. good luck with your search and send us a pic of the bike when y'ur all done. stay safe
