I think I want to put drag bars on my Nightster, but I can't figure out how much riser, if any, I want. Anybody have pics of a Nightster with either no risers or short risers and drag bars? The factory ones feel too far back and high for me, I'd like to be leaning forward with my hands forward and down more.I find myself leaning forward on the freeway with my elbows seriously bent, just to keep the wind down. It also make my back feel a lot better when I lean way forward and straighten it. With a more verticle position, I tend to slouch and get back pain.

I'm not big (5'7" and 155 lbs), and I think I'd like some low drag bars with the mid controls. Anybody my size think I'd be unhappy with low drag bars and mid controls?

 

The last time I saw drag bars on a Nighster, the guy used 3 3/4" risers...Looked pretty sweet.

i have also been thinking of putting a drag bar style on my nightster. but if you have to have that big of a riser to clear the tank, i might just look for something else....

coco, what kind of bar is that and what size it the riser. looks nice btw.

 

Love the black draggers. Too bad you can't really go much smaller on the risers though.

Man, I'm torn between this bike and a 675.

Decisions decisions.
