Help me choose between these 2 drag bars - Suzuki Volusia Forums : Intruder Volusia and Boulevard Forum

First 2 pics are of the Cruiser Performance 6" rise and 6" pullback by 33" wide.

Second 2 pics are of the Cruiser Performance Villain Series 8" rise and 10.5" pullback by 32" wide.

I am looking for a more aggressive look and feel. Which one would you pick? Both bars are a fat 1.5" diameter for a custom look. The difference between the two is an extra 2" rise, 4.5" of pullback, and 1" shorter for the Villain series.

I would probly go with the 8'' rise and the 10.5'' pullback this should get you setting straight up and comfy, you may feel more bad ***** with the lower ones but i think you would get back pain from them.

Go with the Villain handlebars, they look better.

I basically have the 6" bars, I think their great, but I do like to lean forward when I ride.

They end up being about 3" further forward than the standard bars, personally I would prefer another couple of inches more.

I've always liked the first bars, personally, but I gotta say...the villan

Get some 1" PVC pipe, a couple of T's, and a torch and mock up a set of both varieties. Shouldn't take you more than a couple of beers and a buddy to do it.
Then put each on the bike and test it for fit and looks.

That way you don't spend a bunch of cash and find out that the one you chose doesn't fit you. Kind of like a bad gf turned wife

You can always resell the bars here on VR if you find out you don't like them. You can't do that with a wife!!!

thanks for the replies guys, the Villain seems to win the polls. I will let you know when I pull the trigger on them and get my new (to me) sickle mirrors mounted

Personally, I would stay with the stock bars. They look awesome.

Why fix something that's not broke?
