What drag bars for Deuce?
#1
![Default](https://www.hdforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I would like to change the stock bars on my 05 Deuce. I need more pullback. I'm only 5'4", so it's a reach for me and my back gets tired while riding. The HD catalog has pull back dimensions for their bars, but the dimensions don't seem to jive with what I see on the Wild 1s site. http://wild1inc.com/DRAG.html
I went to the dealer and tried the HD Swing Back bars on their demo bar fitment bike they have. They fit me the best where my elbows are slightly bent and my wrists feel comforatable. HD shows 8" of pullback for the Swing Back bars and Wild 1s shows 10.5" for their 6" W0500 drag bars. Looking at side pictures with Chubby bars installed, they don't look much different in pullback than the stock bars do. Is that because HD is only measuring pullback in the bars themselves and not adding in the stock risers which the drag bars eliminate? Love the feel of the HD Swing Back bars, just don't care much for the look and lack of quality for $300 bars. They look cheap. I would like to hear from anyone with experience with drag bars on the Deuce or something that would help with my problem of being vertically challenged. The 6" rise Chubby drag bars look the best to me. The low Profile W0560 look too low.
Carlini's are fine also, manufacturer doesn't matter, I just want quality for the money. Any idea what bars (rise and pullback) will still fit with the stock cables and brake lines? Does anyone sell the bars, cables, and brake line as a package or am I stuck with dealer parts. Sorry for all the questions, but it's my first bike and just getting started with mods as a winter project. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I searched the topic but can't find exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks.

being verticaly challenged 6" risers may not be enough! i am 6ft and it had a bit of a reach for me initialy,used to it now!mine are Burleigh bars,australian version of carlini, or close to! the drag bars are good,however you may need more riser or pullback! for your height,beachbars would be ideal! dont no how they would look on a deuce!
good luck

I'm also 6 ft.and had the 560's on my deuce. I thought there was too much pull back for me so I went with their 4" riders and drag bars to get me more forward. I think the 560's would be a great fit for you. They definitely will not be too low for you and will work with your stock cables. My friend ended up with my 560's on his and loves them.

They need more options for midgets. I'm too old, too fat, and too short. I need to get rid of the back pain somehow. After about an hour, I need to get off the bike. I'll deal with that before I get beach bars though, I don't think they fit the Deuce's style.
