Default Street Glide and Drag Bars

Anyone got a pic or pics of a Street Glide with drag bars, especially Carlini drag bars?

Drag Bars ?

real drag bars won't fit on a touring bike with a fairing...you have something else in mind?

The center width is entirely wrong for them to exit the fairing cap.
Look at the Electrafied Bagger Ape Bar or the Gangster Ape and you will see why.

Yep, those def won't fit a bike with a Batwing.

Roadking or Roadglide only...as shown in the pix at the bottom of the OP's link.

Thanks guys. But I briefly saw a Street Glide that had very different bars, at least at a glance had a drag-bar feel to them. Maybe they were these from BR's Custom Bars (http://brcustomcycles.com/Bagger_Bars_FRB6.php).

Ah, those make more sense. They have a slightly different bend and are wider in the middle as well.

I am so stoked I found this cause I cant stand all the other bar options out there, time to modify

I have always mobbed with drag bars and was loosing hope for the FLH.
