will 24.5 in drag bars work on our sportsters? Seems a little short.

Yes 24.5" will work. BTW those bars in your link are not knurled, you need bars that are knurled and dimpled or drilled if you're doing internal wiring.

 

i wont be doing internal wiring. It says their dimpled for the wires though. Will they be sliding all over the place if their not knurled?

 

nah, shouldn't be too bad. If they start sliding around, you can take a center punch and knock some dings in it to help hold, but you should be fine. And you don't HAVE to buy high dollar bars that are dimpled and stuff. Drilling holes for wires is a cakewalk on a cheap set of bars.

 

your steering will be twichy and sensitive...i dumped my factory custom bars and went with some drags from jp that were 32" and the ride is amazing.

 

I made a thread about how i got my bars to hold tight. nothing else anyone mentioned worked for me. they werent knurled either\

ok guys...thanks a million. Decided to go with a set from HD Local dealer has them in stock. their 27.5 forgot to ask if they were knurled...but seems like its not too big of a deal.

 

Stock HD drag bars should be knurled. If not, do like guitarman said and knock some dings in with a center punch.

 

Ive got 29inch drag bars on mine....i really like the set up. i feel that anything less then 27" would make the bars just feel too congested.
