Default Bought new bars & risers.

My 98 SuperGlide has pull back drag bars and 3.5" or 4" pull back risers on it. For long rides, or short, even as short as 45 minutes, it gets a bit uncomfy cause my arms are just nearly stretched out completly straight and the bar position is so far forward I have to reach out too far, curving my back forward which causes some not so fun pain. So its time for a change. Im not much into the big Ape hanger look, although they are comfortable. I ordered a set of 8" Road 6 Custom mini Apes and a set of 1.5" risers off ebay. I am hoping that I dont have to extend anything (if anything it will be the wiring, caus I want to run the wire looms internal), if not I will have it going by next weekend. Pics to come when the parts get here.

I would advise against internally wiring the bars until you decide if they are going to work out for you.

In the last year and a half I've changed bars, risers and t-bars over a half dozen times just trying to find what fit me best. Glad I didn't wire them internally.

My final and last set-up is a set of Milwaukee Twins 31"W x 8" rise x 7" pullback (J&P #500-883), the stock cables and wires fit fine.

Well, UPS says my bars should be in today. Not sure about the risers yet.
