My drag bars are 32" wide ... I think.

Doc--

Really? Most of the drag bars I've been finding are 24" - 26" wide. The ones I have on now are almost 36", and that's good for me. Musky actually got me thunking, and instead of fluipping the risers, I'm going out to the garage in the morning and visualize what mounting the bars upside down would do.

Could be a very short visualization...

Thanks for the bitchslap of common sense...I was only thinking of the bar mounting to the risers. Guess I get the "Big DUH!" award for today...

I was going to suggest what I am doing w/ Big Johnson bars but not sure the extra 2&quot; would be enough of a difference as the pullback and rise are about the same. Since you're set up solo like me, what bout a looney seat or PCS. Drops you down 3&quot; giving the same effect of added arm length. Are you running stock risres or pullbacks?
