Drag bar insanity.

Drag bar insanity.
Okay ive lost my mind now. I put the drag bars i bought from kcint.com on my bike finally and wow wouldnt you know it the dam things dont fit. They dont show it on the website, and dont explain it in the details, they just say 6" riser T bars. The pullback though is way too extreme for a peanut tank. [:@]Now i have to ship those bars back to ohio, which will cost me and then pay shipping againfrom this place to my house....[:@] anyways....so,this time I amgetting 4.5 inch STRAIGHT risers with the beefy drag bars....WILL THESE FIT? Has anyone actually put 4.5" STRAIGHT risers and a drag bar on a sportster with a peanut tank? If so, where are the pics......i dont want this to happen again. I am pretty dam sure straight risers will do the trick. I have a 2001 (no its not a custom). Thanks guys!

RE: Drag bar insanity.
why would the pullback risers not work? just a question. i bought my risers from hd, 4.5 pullbacks. you also might want to make sure that the bar thickness will fit into the risers. if the 'beefy' bars are to thick then the bars won't fit into the riser itself.
later,
wanna
ps look at my sig. and you'll see that the riser's do work and i did have drag bars on there. mines an '02. and here's another picture just for reference.

Well, by looking at the picture, the bent is right in the middle and it is bent so much, no wonder why it hits the gas tank. The one wannahdawg has is totally different, the HD pull riser is 4 inch up and pullback 2 inches, it will not hit the gas tank. I bet you have to look for T-bar 4 inches up and 2 inches pullback, that will give you enough clearance.

RE: Drag bar insanity.
Thats cool ill try it again. I just put in an order for 4.5" straight risers, chrome handlebar clamp, and some chubby bars (1 1/4" bars tapered down to 1" where the risers and grips go on) so i know this time they will work. At least i learned alot doing all this, how to relocate my turn signals, speedo, how to take the current risers/handlebars off and a little bit about the different drag bars. My mistake cost me $30 for shipping total ($15 both ways) oh well it could have been worse.
