Hey I just picked up a nightster, what kind of drag bars are on your bike? They're not Genuine HD are they?

 

The drag bars on my bike are genuine HD... I will dig up a part number for you later tonight. If I forget, PM me a reminder.

Thanks,
Greg

 

Sounds good man, they look awesome! I love how yours are nice and low, I was worried they would have to rise up quite abit to function right.

 

Thanks. they are sitting on the stock risers as well. I can turn full lock in both directions too with about 1/4" of clearance from the controls to the tank.

Greg

 

Ok, here is the genuine HD part number: #56558-95

The only problem with this is it only comes in chrome. I will be powder coating my bars along with a bunch of other stuff over the winter. Hope this helps.

fishboy, did you wire internally on your drag bars?

 

No, I didn't. I would love to though. I actually kept my original cables when swapping out the bars. They are a little long right now. I plan to re-route the cables so they don't look out of place. They are not terrible right now, but I want to clean them up a bit.

Greg

 

Thanks for the info fish! I'm plannign on getting some drags but my concern is the longer cables after the fact. Yours look sweet. I like the shortness of them, the 27". So you have no tank clearance issues with the 27" bars with 4" pullback, even with your turn signals?

 

At the moment, everything on my front end is stock with the exception of the bars and my upper bar clamp. I simply took stock bars off and put the new bars on without changing a thing. No interferences anywhere.

cool...thanks, i'm think im gonna go for the 27"er's. They look sweet on your bike. Then I'll just powdercoat them. Do they have nipples drilled already on the bars so we can pass the wires internally or do we have to drill them?
