Yes, for the risers and handlebars, there are tons of them in the market, make sure you know what you are buying, some of my friends bought the knock off ones on ebay, they are dirt cheap but the chrome starts peeling off after a few years. It's always good to save some $$ for the next mod. Cheers [:-] Alex

128auto, can you measure the width of the center section of those bars for me plaese, I need bars that are around 16" before they curve in,that way I canuse my stock riser and not have the barhit the tank.

Don, 7 1/2 inches in the middle before the bend. I didn't have the HD one, I believe that one is 8 1/2 inces. If you need riser/speedo kit, I am selling one, click here.

Thanks 128 but I (unlike most) want to be lower & hunched more over the tank so the riser kind of defeats the purpose of the drag bars, for me anyway.
That's why I need to have about 16" before it bends back, I have tried it with a broomstick resting one the top clamp and that position feels great to me as long as they bend in somewhat but only at the ends.
I used to have a metric and installed drop bars on it and loved them but I think that's too low for me now.
You know if you get your face that close to the guages you gotta make 'em do somethin!!!

okay im confused, so i want to get my speedo on like yours, so i can buy this bracket: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US
and it works, you just turn it around? I couldnt find the part off the harley canada website. The # you listed for your speedo bracket doesnt show up, at least for me.
