Default Drag Bars

I'd like to throw some black drag bars on my iron. Do you guys have any recommendations? HD doesn't seem to offer them. Thanks!

Get some drag bars that fit you well from HD or Kustom Chrome or Chrome Werks or... sand them down, prime and paint with Krylon or Rustoleum satin black, leaving the ends alone where the grips/switches will be. Let cure, install. That's what I did, and it worked amazingly well.

made up my own,only drawback is then they are not dippled so you got to change the wireing.

I got a black set off of Ebay, they were 28in long with a 4.5 pull back, total coast for them was about 35 with shipping it is from a company called riders discount. Make sure that you get them with the dimple for the wires. Pretty easy to install. If you have any other questions let me know, i know when i was doing the research it was difficult to find all the answers and pictures that you wan tto see before commiting. Also if you are replacing the bars this would be a good time to look at new grips as well, I replaced my grips at the same time.
