They don't look very wide and they do look like they pull-back. They're mounted on pull-back risers. Anything else and I'd have to know the guy!

+1 - they are mounted on pullback risers and don't strike me as drag bars at all.

Looks like the stock 1200C bars on the stock pullback risers.

Thanks guys. But I own a new custom and I'm sure the bars are not stock. I want to replace mine with these and I wanna get some specs before I buy. I'm a new biker too

Drag bars with pullback for sure, hard to tell at that angle how wide. Here is mine with 32" wide drag bars, 4" pullback, I believe I have the same riser as the one in the pic:





If I had to guess, I would say the bars in that pic are more like 26"-28" wide, with 4"-5" pullback.

Did you "have to" relocate your turn lights or could you have kept them on the bars without hitting the tank? Thanks for the pics

Here's another angle of the same bike (I think)



The one on the left has stock bars, the right has drag bars. Best guess on how wide, anyone?
Thanks
