whats up everyone i know that in the past i posted up on a set of bars and if anyone had changed them yet. though i was speaking of ape hangers last time i dont want to spend a crap ton of money to change cables and such so im looking at a set of drag bars this time. the big concern is the speedo pod. the risers and bars are just a swap out and your done but have any of you guys seen or done any bar/riser changes ? please help i feel like my arms are bent like im riding a moped and the chop feel of the bike we know and love dosent look so chopped when your riding.

check it out, Straightjacket is in the process of creating bars for the Stryker. Really good guy, ordered the side mount plate he makes, looks great. If your looking for a custom set of bars I would PM him and check it out that way.

yea i looked at the thread you posted up and saw the way his bars sat up and forward i think thats gonna be so much better, i spoke with two bike shops and they said doing the risers and bars are the easy part, its the speedo that something needs to be mounted.

You have a little bit of room with your cables to move the bars, say 2" without any issue. If you move 3-4" you can re-route most of the cables, but the throttle, clutch and the front brake line start to get tight and should be replaced. If you see a set of bars you like that fit get them try them out to be sure and have your speedo plate cut off your bars and welded in. Any questions let me know I've been working on this lately and trying to get it all figured out.
