Totally agreed, dragbar looks great on sportster.

Drag bars...beach bars are for baggers.

Beach bars or drags??&nbsp\\; Thats 2 opposite extermes.
Do you want to sit back and relax&nbsp\\;OR do you want to be leaning foreward reaching for the handlebars?
IMO a stock Sportster has no business with with Beach Bars. They stick out too wide
and you would look ridiculous.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Maybe Not..&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;
As far as Apes.. I put&nbsp\\;10" mini apes&nbsp\\;on my softail and felt like I was a parachute in the wind.
Rode for a few months like that then got a windshield..... Now, I love the bars...BUT&gt\\;&gt\\;&gt\\;&nbsp\\;Only with the windshield.
Go for what YOU want!&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; Everyone here likes drags. &amp\\; short shots.
So...make you bike look like everyone elses..???
I always thought customizing your bike was to make it a little different from what you see everyday.
I say you should put DRAG BARS on it.
So it will just be another bike that does'nt look like mine...

I hope Utz forgives me for posting another pic of his bike without his permission, but I like it. Now, imagine the bars and risers in BLACK on a Nightster...you will not look like just another Nighster with drag bars. I don't know the particulars of the bars and risers, though, or even if they come in black. They could be powder coated though. The seat is CC.

I personally like ape hangers on the bigger bikes..now thinking about some small Z bars or drag bars.. yes everyone has drag bars but drag bars are only one aspect of the bike

&nbsp\\;That's like asking black or white , rich or poor, dumb or dumber, hot or cool, sunny or raining. Beach bars are for Road Kings, what's up with people wanting to screw up a gorgeous Nightster. Mini Apes or&nbsp\\;wide&nbsp\\;drag bars&nbsp\\;in black.
&nbsp\\;Or you could just spend the money on the engine so it was as fast as it looks.
