Well, I'll try and post some pics. For some reason I can't get the add image icon to work,even with resized photos from photobucket down to 320x240. Anywho, you'll have to click on these. The first one is stock, the second is w/ the drags for comparison. The third is the drivers view, and the 4th is w/ a set of 01 Custom risers and a 'R' tank. (my current setup that I'm in love with) These pics are ones that I saved on my computer, then used the attachment link at the bottom of the reply area.

You will love drag bars if you get them. I feel that they are a must on bike. Can't beat the looks of drag bars. I have 32" drag bars with the stock riser that I got out of J&P Cycles for $26. One of the cheapest mods ya can do, and they were easy to put on also.

How about installation of the drag bars? I've seen a few bars that come predrilled while others are just the bars. How difficult/easy was it for you? What tools did you need? How long did it take you?

I talked to 128auto, since then I started looking around and GOD are there a lot of risers and heights. Pull backs or straight? Blah, blah, blah. As of now I'm looking at 3" or 4" risers with some broomhandles and new grips. But I have no idea how to begin installation. When I ordered my mirrors they came with 5 pairs of different screws and no indication on which ones to use. Trial and error is something I do with mirrors, but not the bars.

I'm guessing perfectly straight bars versus slightly bent

Broomsticks is a slang term for straight drag bars:

(photo from kingpin cycles)

All of the ones that I've seen HD sell have at least a slight pullback. (see my prior post, those are HD bars)

Because I just put 27"BARS that I purchased from harley on mine and I feel like I am leaning a little to much was wondering if the 32"bars from J&PCYCLES would make a difference.I know you need pictures but the wife took the camera to work with her will have to do tomorrow.
