Night Train risers/bars...fit on Standard?
I was wondering if the stock '06 (or earlier) Night train straight risers/drag bars would be a "bolt on" replacement for the stock '06 Standard curved riser/ramshorn bars. I like the look and feel of the NT bars and really don't have the $$$ to drop right now for a high-end set of aftermarket bars w/all new cables/controls. Has anyone swapped out a set of stock FSXT risers/bars with a set of drag (straight) type risers/bars of ANY type and still been able to use the stock cables/controls?? Thanks!

I put pullback drag bars on mine and the cabels are all standard, the only mod I had to do was to put the turn indicator relocation kit as with the narrower bars the indicators were hitting the tank on full lock. The night train bars are not pull back so you will not have this problem. The clutch cable is reccommended to be replaced (shorter) in the manual but I didn't do it and it doesn't look out of place (just got a bit more loop on it), see pic below.

I've got the same bike you do, Red 06 Standard, and I just put a set of mini-apes (same height as stock wide glide bars) on it. I was able to use all of the stock cables and wiring, only had to buy a wiring harness extension that was about 4" long.
Since you are talking about doing drag bars I wouldn't think you would have any problem at all. I'm sure my mini-apes required more length than drag bars which are pretty close to the stock bars in height and width.
Hope this helps, good luck, Rick

I replaced my Nightrain risers with these particular ones because I got tired of being hunched over on the stock ones (I'm 5'8). I've seen these risers on other web sites for almost $200. I paid about $70 with shipping. The second best mod I've done to my train. Also the cables did NOT have to be replaced to go from 7" to 9 1/2" risers.
