I need some opinions on my bike. I want to change to a drag bar. But I don't have short pipes. They're not the big stock mufflers but they're the same length. Do you guys think it would look retarded with a drag bar and long pipes?

 

Not at all.

 

Um, no?

 

.......thanks?

 

What do drag bars have to do with short pipes? Looks? Should look ok~ remember that beauty is in the eye of the key holder. Go ahead and do it, if you don't like the looks or the feel, try something else. I have continually changed bits and pieces on my '86 sporty, it can be a tourer one day and a cafe racer the next. Just do it!

 

It's prety much what you want,if you don't try them you'll never know.Peronally i like drag bars so i think they'll look great and if you dont like them switch back to what yo have now.

 

Do drag bars with stock pipes look retarded?
Ive changed out the cans to Rush, they are still as long.

 

What kind of stuff do you do to your 86 to make it look like a cafe racer? i have a 82 and im thinking about doing this.

 

You can get some ideas on creating a cafe racer from this site...

It would look great! I had drags on my XL50 before I had the Martin Bros's piprs and it looks great! Go for it.
