Default What degree drag bars?
I want to put drags on my iron but don't know whether to go 18 or 25 degrees. Any experience with drags? opinions?

That is up to you to see what's comfortable. And now that I think about it I'm not even sure what degree mine are. I know they are 28" with 4" pullback, kinda wish I had 32" but couldn't pass up the price of the ones I have.

I have 28in bars with a 4in pull back and i love them, you really cant go any shorter than 28 or you will have issues with your bars hitting the tank unless you go higher than the stock risers. I got myset off of ebay, they are black with the dimples for the wires. Let me know if you have anyother questions i will be more than happy to help.
