Default DRAG BAR help

Can you please post your pics of drag bars on a sportster (or any model) so that i can get an idea of what looks good as far as mounting drag bars...i see you can basically get an "all-in-one" drag bar or you can buy just the bars and then add clamps and risers...i cannot decide what to do...price is certainly important...

please enlighten me as to what you do/like...
Thanks

Seven7, I sent you an email man.


A buddy of mine has a set of broomstick drag bars (completely straight, no bend) on his 99 sportster and they look pretty sweet. It's on its way to having a cafe look and he wanted the forward lean without clip ons. I would definitely recommend a decent size riser with drag bars if you don't want to be hunched over.
