Default Drag Bars on a Road King

Researching handlebars and I keep coming back to Factory 47's Evil T with the clamp, but it only comes black which I don't think would look good on my bike. http://www.factory47cycles.com/produ...-handle-bar-12

Does anyone have Drag Bars on their King and love them? Did you have them and hated them? Which ones?

Looking for some honest feedback. Thanks.

I'm confused. Drag bars are typically defined as more of a strait bar. I would define the bars described above as more of custom style ape-hangers. Am I just totally out of the loop?

I believe drag bars are close to a beach bar in height but more straight across with less pull back. Can't see that being comfortable unless you have super long arms.

I agree I would call them T-bars but what's also odd is that the website shows them in chrome but doesn't sell them that way??? I'd give them a call.

Maybe he's looking for Drag Bars on High Risers?

I guess I'm confused also....

Drag Bars are usually right at the triple tree... If you are looking to come up I would call em apes...
