    Wanting to put on 0 rise drag bars with 4" pullback on 48. Just wondering what bars people have used with this spec and if they had any dramas with clearances etc?

    I put the HD drag bar part# 55800035 (satin black $88) on my Iron. No clearance issues, have flipped mirrors & my tank is bigger 3.3gal.

    I run a broomstick (no pullback) on my Iron and love it! I use the pillion pegs a fair bit on the highway and love the riding position.

    Thanks guys. The 48 is a bit different than the Iron as the triple tree is wider and the handlebar clamp set lower.  Looking at it, it looks like if 0 rise bars are put on then it may hit the top fork nut. May be just a case of loosening the pinch bolts and lowering the forks a tad.  Also it looks like there is no way 1 1/4" bars will go on, will have to stick with 1" bars.

     Thanks for the part number Slap. Ordered this morning, put on next week hopefully with Joker Machine speedo relocation.

    Yeah no worries. I'm looking at the autometer bracket, cheaper option to relocate speedo. Joker do a top clamp with integrated dummy lights. All up cost about $110. Worth considering.
