Iron 883 drag bars
I'm looking for a comfortable pair of drag bars for my bike. I'm only 5'7", so I don't have really long arms. The stock handlebars are just fine, length-wise. Can anyone suggest a good drag bar that is around that length?

I went through several bars before finding some I liked. One thing with the drag bars I noticed, since they don't have as much pullback, you can go a little more narrow and still need the same amount of reach, if that makes sense.
I found the Biltwell bars to be about as good as anything, and I would suggest these, figuring you want black:

FWIW I ended up with the Biltwell Tracker bars, kind of an "in between" of drag bars and the stock bars.
Make sure you have clearance with your tank, I have a riser so I didn't have issues, but it was close on my turn signals.

HD has their own set of drag bars that are the same width as the stock bars. 32" wide, 0 rise, 4" pull back.
I'm currently running the HD ones and am thinking bout shortening them down to around 30". It really all boils down to your preference for comfort and style.

I just got a set of 28" wide with 4" of pullback drags in black off amazon for around $40 shipped. This is the narrowest you can run on the stock riser without hitting the tank in my experience.

drag bars
I was thinking about getting the HD drag bars for my 2014 iron 883 and I know the dealership said when changing bars that cables might need to be changed an such. Would the stock cable lengths work with the drag bar?
