Hello to all....I've got a '04 roadking custom and I'm thinking about installing a set of drag bars on it...has anyone here seen a roadking with them??? does anyone know where to find any pics of one?? I've got a set of Chubby 508's on it now....but I took the bike to Detroit and left it at Bishops Performance to have a complete 113" build done to it...all the motor work is done I'm just waiting on the weather to warm up so Bill can get enough break-in miles on it to do the final tuning...I'm thinking with the new power it's going to have I will need some different bars on it as the 508's are more for laid back cruising....I know Carlini makes a clamp cover kit that has the holes for the risers to be installed....I was thinking of a set with the risers made onto the bars if I can get them with enough pullback so as not to be leaning too far forward all the time...if anyone knows where to find any pics I would appreciate it....

Thanks.....

 

It will probably take some trial fits, but the Carlini plate , a set of 2 or 4 " pull back risers and Drag Bars would definitly look cool and may work ergonomicaly. If the drags do not work, a set of the low Sportster / SuperGlide bars gives a good rise, width and pullback.

On my FXR I went with a set of custom 5" pullback risers that I made along with the Sportster / Superglide bars and it worked out great for positioning and looks.

 

Thanks for the reply...

I'm going to take some measurments when I get the bike back...but it will probably take some trial fits to get a set right...I was hoping someone else has installed some before and could recommend a set...[8D]

 

Don't think I have ever seen a RK with drags on it. Post a picture if you go that route. It would be interesting to see.

 

would be an interesting look! be sure to post pics if ya do it.

 

Maybe try going to Physco Chubby's web site. I think it's wild1physcochubby.com but not for sure. That's where I went to see some pictures off ape's for my Road King. Good luck.
