Default aftermarket/swaped bars with stock hardware.

First Harley, new here, first post. Did minimal searching beforehand, sorry in advance. I have a 03 FXSTI with stock bars, cables, hand controls etc.
I am 6'2". Currently on a badlander seat.
What bars can I get to reuse my stock hardware with for now? I like the look of drag bars with pullback risers and think that they would be more comfortable than what I have. I am saving up for 16" apes next winter but want to get away from the stock bars for the coming riding season.

Welcome to the board! It really depends on the bars. There are many that would allow you to reuse your stock cables, etc. without having to lengthen any. I put 8.5 inch pullback risers on mine (wanted to keep my stock drag bars) and didn't have to change anything. Look at your setup now and see how much slack you have. Sometimes it may just be a case of removing a zip-tie and letting more slack in. If you're going with something significantly higher then it's a safe bet to say that you'd need more length.
