OK are the handle bars that come stock on the FLD something unique to the FLD or is it used on other models? Every time I sit on one of those at the dealership the bars just feel about right to me but they do look like allot of other buck horn style bars.Are they the same as the FXDC?, Softtail Standard? FXD? There are no FXDCs or Soft Tail standards at the local dealer for side by side comparo.Anybody know?

 

I had Softail Custom Bars on my Night Train, very comfortable and are taller than FLD bars.

Thanks for the info I do like those bars they look like an 8" mini ape does that sound about right? Maybe I'm over researching this but I'm on my fourth set of bars and not really all that happy with them.On a side note they're not the Flanders flat track bars in my sig pic.

 

“8" mini ape”
Yep that’s what mine measured.

I also just noticed that they come with a pull back riser, of course, it couldn't be simple like just changing bars.

 

“come with a pull back riser”
As luck would have it, yes the stock FLD risers are a tad bit pull back.

I don’t know if you need pull back? I found out with my set up I did.
