Default Fat Boy Lo bars on a Fat Bob

Has anyone done this? I was looking for a little more drape than the drag bars.

the fatboy low bars are the same bars as standard on the wideglide. You can use your stock riser and emulate the wideglide, or buy the fatboy risers.

Here's my Super Fat Glide with FB Lo bars and risers, I like them and you will too if you want to be leaning forward just a little.

Thanks for the pics. They look good.

Do you think the posture would shift forward for those bars? I was thinking it would be slightly more upright than the drag bars.

Shift forward? I don't understand what you mean?

I'm 5'9" and use mid controls, I find that I lean slightly forward into the wind which is just what I was after. Using the FB risers, you can reverse them which will push the bars 1-2" further forward, but so far I've been happy with where they are.

I have forward controls and would be using the stock risers. I think my riding position will be a little more upright than it was with the stock drag bars.

Your bike looks good. Thanks.

I'd say they would raise your arms up a little but I don't think it will put your upper body any more or less upright - you'd have to compare the pullback figures in the P&A book. If its more upright you want, some curved pullback risers are probably a better option and a lot less work to install since you won't have to pull the internal wires or anything else for that matter.

if your using the stock risers then the bars will be higher. It will be like sitting on a wideglide basically.
