I just fitted Wild One Chubby Drag Bars W500 with 6" risers. The bars are awesome, they LOOK great BUT they are about 2.8" further forward and about 2.2" lower to the ground than the stock bars when measured at the grip ends.

I am leaning forward too far for my personal comfort so will be looking at the 8" riser ones that have another 1" in pullback too. This is a VERY difficult science to master BEFORE fitting and riding. Wild One have a good chart of measurements of stock bars on stock bikes and of their Chubby bars too. Worth a look at least. The Carlini Bars are excellent too.

Chubby Bar dimensions: http://www.wild1inc.com/chubbydimensions.html

Stock HD bar dimensions: http://wild1inc.com/DIMENSIONS.pdf

There is also a virtual bar fit screen that may even help for other models too:

If you look side-on at most stock bikes with the front wheel dead straight and imagine a plumb line dropped from the tip of the grip, it falls down a line that is pretty damn close to dead center of the air filter. Incidentally, the regular HD Indicator Re-Location Kit # 69433-08 looks pretty OK too.





Hope this helps a bit.
