Default Bars on a Nightster

Hi peeps
I'm looking to put a set of new bars on my 2010 Nightster but im totally lost as to what I require to do this.

This is what I've done to the bike so far which I think will affect which bars I could go with.

Forward controls & a 3" Tank lift I've also got a coil & ignition relocation kit on the way.

I don't mind putting a speedo relocation kit on if it's needed.

What I would like is to have the bars internal wired if possible.
I'm not a fan of ape hangers.
I do like the look of drag bars.

So what have you guys done on yours & what would you recommend.

Thanks very much.

If you want a good set of drag bars, check out bungking.com.
They offer many custom versions [you specify riser height, width, pull back, finish, etc] and they custom build you a set. I've bought two so far and they're really inexpensive and well made.
You can internally wire them yourself when installing them. It's not that hard to do. Look on youtube for videos showing the installation steps. Just take your time, and take pictures of the various plugs and connectors showing what wire goes where before dis-assembly and assembly. You'll be glad you did.

If you go with the drag bars sometimes its useful to use handlebar risers extensions to get the bars at the height you want for look and comfort. We have these in 1'',1.5'',2'',2.5'' and 3''.

Most people think the drag bars look better with a speedometer relocation.

Here is a picture of drag bars, handlebar risers, and a speedometer relocation.


Also, here is a video of some bikes that have drag bars so you can get a feel of how they look Check out the 17 second mark ,30 second mark, and the 2:00 mark.


HERE is where you can check our the handle bar riser extensions.
And HERE for the speedometer relocation.

Hey Blue I checked bungking and didnt see any drags. Are you sure thats the right company? I love the idea of being able to modify the pullback
