Hi Blaine,
I thought I'd post this up here as others may be looking for somthing like this also ...... I could not ride with the stock drag bars on my bike, VERY UNCOMFORTABLE to me ! I LIKED the look, but I often ride 300 miles a day and when I take a trip I'll ride 500 - 600+ miles a day. I could never do that with drag bars.....
Anyway, you ask me this:
Anyway, the reason I PM'd is to ask about your handlebars on your 4. My Bo-in-law saw them today and he has an 89 FXR with bars similar to Tim and mines. He wants to get something along the line of yours. Do you know the PN and the specs on it ie, width, center, rise, and pullback? No rush cause he's doing tranny work on his and will be a while; just thought I'd ask for him...Hurry and get that build done man; I wanna hear how you couldn't hang on after you ride it the first time Grin Thanks and best to ya...BlaineYou're IN Luck .. just so happens that I 'usually' keep receipts, and I found this one.
The bars that I put on are the CHROME version of the stock STAINLESS STEEL bars for the Dyna Wide Glide in 2001 (may still be but I think they changed them in 04')
PN 56079-93TThe specs on the bars are:
PN 56079-93T
Measurements:
tip to tip 32 inches
base width 10 inches
rise 10.25 inches
pull back 6.50 inches
knurl center to center 3.14 inches
To get a picture and understanding of how these measurements are made:
Go to page 618 in Harley-Davidson 2008 Genuine Motor Accessories And Genuine Motor Parts Catalog
In the upper right corner of that page you'll also find information on how to determine if these bars will fit your risers:
Knurl Center to Center is the distance between the center of one knurl to the center of the other knurl.
To ensure correct fit between the handlebar and the risers, measure the center to center distance between the riser clamping surfaces and select a handlebar with the same dimension.
I've also found several post regarding this PN 56079-93T and PN 56079-93
you'll find both of those PN on page 618, they both have the same dimensions. From what I can determine from reading other posts is that the 'T' version is the CHROME bars and the other PN is the stock STAINLESS STEEL bars. Both PN have the same dimensions. Of course to ensure that he gets what he wants he should place a couple of calls to HD to makes sure of the PN in question.
Here are a couple of threads from 'other' forums that I found that might be useful to you.
Here the user is looking for the same bars that are on my bike and the discussion covers both of the part numbers that I gave you above.
What you'll find them saying is that the PN 56079-93 is the stock bars for the WG and are STAINLESS STEEL ... the PN 56079-93T are
Chrome-plated handlebars are
designed to be exact replacements for the Original Equipment stainless steel handlebars.
Fits FXDWG models equipped with P/N 56079-93 as Original Equipment.

I found the following post that you might find useful if you are considering internal wiring:

Hope this helps him out !
Best of luck ... Let us know what he decides to do.
