i just ordered some 26 inch drag bars with a 4 inch curl back... i was looking for a more tucked up and tight look/feel.. i was wondering about your guys opinion on that.

let me measure mine later, it might be similar sized, if so I can give you first hand experience.
Once thing I'll tell you for sure - drag bars will limit the turning radius of the bike. A lot.

This is on a dragbike. The forks are compressed and there is no rear shock. Seat padding has been mostly removed. When the return road isnt great I feel like a bobblehead going back to my pit.
The ride isnt that good : )
