Default Drag bars installed - pics

Finally got my drag bars installed. 32" wide smooth bars from debrix cycle.
Chrome 32" Smooth Wide Drag Bars Handlebars for Harley: 25-0422 Debrix Cycles- Parts for your Harley & Custom Motorcycles
Added 07M50's riser spacers and these bars work perfect. Can turn full left and right with no interference.

Very cool. I love the matching foot controls/grip combo.

Iceman, did you stripe your bike?

Red will have to confirm, but it looks like the risers take out most of the extra reach. I think it is an awesome combination since it negates the clearance issues with some bars.

The riser spacers did take out some of the reach...in my opinion they feel like the stock bars only they are straighter and a tad lower. Combined with the JK forward controls it looks and feels awesome. Had a guy come up to me at the bank yesterday and ask if it was a custom built bike. When I told him it was 'zuki his jaw dropped and just couldn't believe it.

Thanks for the comments all.

DJ, those are matching Kurakyn grips and pegs (ISO grip) with 1 1/2" spacers on the foot pegs to give me some room to move around.

Here's a look at the rims...

Man that looks awesome! I have to ask what the rad grill is called and where you got it from. Well I'm at it I might as well ask about the seat too, I'm guessing it's a saddlemen tattoo profiler?

The drag bars are wicked. Just may have to do that.......

I like the drag bars but I'm gonna try some 26 inchers out. Since you have 32" do you think I'll have room for them? Plus a 5 inch pullback. looks like my issue will be the master cylinder but you have about 3" clearance on that side So I could make 26ers work I think since that'd be 6" to spare.

Shorter bars would drastically change the steering feel. It would look cool, but not worth the loss of handling - or maybe I just have weak arms.

Well I was thinking that I don't ever turn the handle bars while at speed, But I have no experience with this till I experience it, so I guess I will just have to experience it. Unless you have experience with this, then your experience would be beneficial to my experiences that I would never have to experience.........

haha

In my limited experience, with the shorter bars you will experience less leverage when pushing or pulling in the corners. You may need to put them on to experience the effort needed. I can not tell you from experience how much a change it will actually be since I don't have these bars...
