RE: 07 Dyna Super Glide Handlebars
Just an update to my handlebars dilemna. \\; I still have not switched them out but finally ordered a set of wide glide bars to see how that would do. \\; The shop had me sitting on different bikes and looking at my position for weeks before I finally decided. \\; They are going to just initially put them on before changing everything out to make sure I like them. \\; I'll let you know. \\; I'm pretty excited. \\; I just got a new seat and the seat pushes me back a bit further than I already was from the bars so we'll see what happens.

I have a 07 FXD and have tried several configurations. A two inch rise over stock requires no change in cables or brake line. Greater than two inch rise, you'll need a longer brake line. Pull back risers **** the speedo almost vertical, not good. Rivco makes a two inch rise and two inch pull back made just for this situation. But on 07's and up the top clamp/ speedo housing was changed and so you can't clamp down on the Rivco riser. Works great on 06 and earlier and you need no \\;brake line or cable change out. Rivco says they are working on a updated version for 07's and up. Another issue that you have to deal with is that the stock risers are mounted to the triple tree via neopreme (sp?) damppeners. As you increase the length of the riser the feel of the bars gets mushier. \\;So, for the FXD you are stuck with changing out the bars. There are lots of bars out there. I liked the feel/position of the mini apes on a \\;Street Bob so thats where I ended up. IMO, you are hobbled by the speedo mounted clamp on the FXD. Truely, the better \\;arrangement is the FXDC with tank mounted speedo. Then get yourself some fat \\;pullback \\;T-bars! \\;

I can't stand the stock handlebars either and am not sure if I want to go with apes (did that with my previous FXR).
I am toying with the idea of doing beach bars, but right now I don't really have the funds or time to make that change.
Now I'm thinking, "why not \\;a new set of risers - something that sweepd back a little?" \\; The reason I hate the stock bars is because I am leaning too forward.
Anyone out there do this? \\; Would I have to replace all cables/wiring, or can I just do a swap out of the risers?
Later!

I installed 4 1/2 inch pullbacks with my stock bars and had no issues with the stock cables. But, I am going with mini apes as well due to the position of the speedo.
