Just playing with the idea of changing handlebars? I'd like ones that come back a little further but I don't want risers. I have the speedo mount as well as a tach. Any suggestions?

 

I'm trying the mini-apes that come on the Street Bob and the Wide Glide. I should have them on within the week.

Thats what I did with mine and I love them.

 

This is what I did as well.
I like it much better than the stock 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 nota 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 swapped my buckhorns out with lowrider bars and 4" pull back risers, I'm really happy. Had to move my turn signals (well, I didn't "have to", but it was easier with them moved).

Risers are the easy way. Somebody here just adjusted the bars up or down and said it worked for them. You might try that first. Smiley

 

I went with the (L5)Flanders Knucklebars.

Rise: 3.5" Pullback: 10.5" Center: 7.5" Width: 35" Diameter: 1"
the (K5) is only 32' wide with 10.25 pullback which looking at there bar chart has a little more pullback than the stock 2007 fxdi setup.

Are the FXDC cables same length as the FXD's? netvampire, I really dig your setup, but if it means having to swap cables, not going to happen til next winter.

 

Sorry but i dont know, i think the fxdc cables would be slightly longer due to the stock bar size seems to be a little higher and wider .
i just took a chance going by the measurements i couldn't see a problem. and i never needed a cable change.that's why i mentioned
the (K5)looks closer to your stock setup.check the sizes out yourself.http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Americ...tock_Bars.html
