I don't have the Biltwell tracker bars...mine are an off brand. They're called super bike bars. Similar specs as the Biltwells. I also put the 7/8" version on my Buell. For my size I think they're my favorite bar.

I also have a 93 XLH that I just put Iron bars and headlight assembly on & I love the bars. Much better than the stock Nightster bars.

I'm not going to the shop today but I have the 93 XLH with stock Iron bars in my garage at home.





They have a little more pullback than tracker style bars.





Here's a stock Nightster bar beside the stock Iron bar.

Default nostalgia grips...

I'm running the stock bars on my 07 roadster but just put on the nostalgia grips.
Took a day to get used to, feels like your holding a club vs. a pipe(stock grips).
More comfortable for long rides, I was having an issue with hands cramping(too many years in meat packing plants).

Check out Debrix Cycle online I got them for $19.99 plus ridiculous shipping - but still cheaper than the $50+ the dealership wants.

Good luck with the mods - only problem I had was reconecting the two cables to the new throttle grip - anyone have a secret tip for this - you may need it.

I put those on my wife's Frisco bars.



I don't know of any trick to the cables but I've never had a problem when loosening the idle cable completely and installing the throttle cable first.

That's the trick - I didn't loosen the cable

I have V-Twin 2" rise, 32" wide drag bars. I wired mine internally to clean up the bars. I actually just took them off and bought another set just like them to flip. So if anyone is interested, they are ready to be put on with internally wiring, just pull your connectors apart and go.







Here's the new set that are flipped.
