Default Fatboy Handle Bar Questions

I have a 2004 Fatboy and I really dont like the handlebars that I have on it right now.&nbsp\\;I feel like I am leaning too forward and I really cant stretch out.&nbsp\\;What I was wondering is what handle bars will allow me to sit back more and not lean so much forward?&nbsp\\;I am 6'1".&nbsp\\;The other thing is I want to be able to&nbsp\\;do is have&nbsp\\;the Nacelle Kit added on it.&nbsp\\;When I talked to the guys at the HD Dealership they told me to try the Heritage Handle Bars and they where pretty good but would like to have my hands a little more further apart..&nbsp\\;Any suggestions would be awesome.&nbsp\\;Thanks so much.

You can get 4 1/2 inch pull back risers but if you are going to a nacelle check out 12 inch apes with a 1&nbsp\\;1/2 inch riser.

Look at the Wild 1 site www.wild1inc.com for some ideas they have pictures of all their bars on bikes.

I went with the Wild1's 518 bar. I like the wide look and feel, have ridden 600 miles in one day with no aches, twinges or spasms in the shoulders or back! Good luck!!

I wanted my hands further apart on my Heritage so I replaced the stock handlebars with a Wild 1 W0504. Just completed an 1,100+ mile trip over five days and have to say I really like them. Got my hands further apart and back a little towards my body.

As is mentioned above, go to the Wild 1's web site. Plenty of awesome pics there.
