Where to find tall risers and straight handlebar?

[Liszt]

Anyone knows where can i get those 6" or 7" high risers and straight handle bars? I think they are called Broomstick bars right? Recommendations will be appreciated

u can get from ebay, plenty...

or go to any harley pro shop, even if they dun hv ex-stock, they can order for u

 

btw, that is called a drag bar. i'm using one but mine is from neither of the above.

mine is custom made to my liking by Seng Kwang

usual drag bars are relatively straight but still has bends

 

broomsticks are drag bars that are very straight, no bends.

top is a broomstick, still a kind of drag bar, the rest are all drag bars.

 

Easiest to get from Ebay, or catalogue at WS.

OIC... my bad..

but no bends, that will be really uncomfortable right?

some people like to bend forward a lot >.

 

coupled with tall / pullback risers it can be quite nice.

that's going to be a back breaker, especially with fwd controls

but again, no pain no glory!

Seng Kwang is at AMK AutoPoint.

They r not the typical bike workshop, they specialize in stainless steel stuffs only... like IU brackets, GPS brackets, engine guards, side/top box brackets, racks, and exos mods...

 

if it's installation of general parts, can go to any workshop. But if it's harley stuffs then better go to a harley pro shop.

 

btw, what tank mod u r referring to?

It's a aftermarket tank...need to clear the rusty part in the tank I need to install gas cap (needs

welding) and petcock for the tank...and I want to make it a frisco style tank...so I need to mod the tank to install it to my bike...

Ya dragbars are definitely more comfy on mid-controls.. with forward controls, you'll tend to lean forward more and hence you'll need bars that pull back a little more.. or your ride to Thailand will seriously improve your existing "sit and reach" distance. Fierce-looking position to be seen in if you're riding in SG but quite impractical for long-haul rides.

 

As for Broomsticks.. i personally feel that if there aren't going to be any bends at the end, the length of the bar should be a little shorter than your regular drag bars with the pullback.. or else the broomsticks will stick out too much. Kinda like a person with BIG ears.

how much did you do it for?

i did mine for much less than $100...

but b'cos we r gd friends and i get special discount

 

stainless steel is better than those chrome ones as it will not rust over time...

but one setback is that u can't drill holes on it to run cables inside (was told that if drill hole, cracks might form at the hole after sometime due to its mechanical property).
