I never liked welded bars - apart from not being sure of the weld quality, you are also not able to change the orientation of the bars.... I just put similar shaped bars on my Dyna along with a set of genuine H-D hidden bolt risers - only 4 inch tall ( I was using fatboy ones) I found on ebay going cheap at 60 GB pounds and they're for 1.25 inch bars as well... and they're brand new !
I’ve always done fixed T Bars cause it’s less moving parts and they look better in my opinion. I do like the adjustability of the bar and risers though. May give that a try next time.
@@twinsmotogarage1866 I agree that less moving parts are a great idea and found that 1 1/4 inch bars and risers are much more secure than inch bars - there's more area between clamp and bar and the bolts are bigger diameter as well. The risers are called Fat Bar risers and are actually 3.6 inch rise. I went to inch and a quarter in order to stop the bars moving in the riser when I ran 16 inch apes, but as the bike now has over 130 bhp and torque I found it much easier to ride the bike with lower rise bars. Bars are now an aftermarket Sportster Roadster type in 1 1/4 that are slightly wider as well. Both the risers and bars are meant for dressers so they look nice and chunky on my 2010 Dyna, total rise of bar and riser is about 6 or 7 inches less than the 16 inch apes when used with softail (Fatboy) risers from the Twincam era. Someone recommended I 'pin' the bars to the risers when I found the right position but I had tried that on an old Triumph chopper I built in the 'eighties and it didn't work well as they still moved - you cannot re-position them either when you want to !
Very nice
