just ordered drag bars
i went to the dealer today and ordered a set of drag bars..i was kind of looking to go the other way(like mini apes) but i dont want to spend all the money for cables etc... i like the looks of the drags more than i do the apes but the apes look more comfy..looking for some feedback from guys that put drags on to see how they feel compared to stock..

RE: just ordered drag bars
I love them, made the steering feel just a bit heavier which i liked throwing it around in the twisties. They are the 27.5 inch drag bars from hd on my roadster and besides mirrors being about worthless they are great.

RE: just ordered drag bars
Love my drags... 31.5" width.. started with 27.5's and found them a bit narrow for my liking. The feel is great. I feel better than apes. But that is personal choice and opinion, I like the stance drags give the bike and the feel it gives the bike. Only complaint I had was with the narrow 27" bars, the mirrors were hard to see out of, with the 32's I can see out the mirrors just fine.

RE: just ordered drag bars
I have the 27" drag bars that came on my 1200-C. They dont work good for me. I need to reach forward to much, and I get a lot of upper back pain. Im looking for bars with about 4 or 5" more of pull back and about a 2" rise. I think about 30 or 31" wide would also feel better. I hope this will help with the pain, but I also think they 'would' be more comfy...
