I am trying to decide if I should put risers on my 2010 Fat Boy Lo or go with new bars, something like the 2012 bars. I would like some feedback from those of you who have added one or the other. Has it really made a difference? If you could do it over again, what would you do? Any pics of your mods?

 

If were talking bikes then no. I do love giving rides on my fat boy.

 

I tried the 4" and 6" risers on mine but they just didn't give me enough pullback.

Went with the 560B Wild1's and couldn't be happier. shoulders don't hurt anymore.

i have 6" risers and drag bars wich gives it a nice look

 

After a massive research project and some mockup trials, I went with 2012 bars and the fat HD pullback risers. Fits me great and keeps the front end nice and beefy.

 

Great looking bike....

 

Hi
With the bars on My 2011 FB Lo they were too far forward & My hands used to get pins & needles after about 1/2hr of riding so I put the 4" pullback risers on & they helped a fair bit but not enough so I decided to go for the 6" pullback risers & managed to use all the old cables apart from the brakeline which I snapped & had to get a longer one made so after riding about 1000km in the last 2 days to get My ABS reset the bars are just about right now.
In saying that Ill probably go for the street slammers now as I believe they have about 7" pullback & best bit is there black.
I also bought one of those clips for the throttle grip that lets you use your palm to help turn the throttle which helped heaps on the 450km ride home today.

Cheers

Im going with the 12 inch Fat baby apes on my 2010 Lo. The old bars were killing my back and shoulders.

 

Heres a couple of pics for you.

I put a set on 2 yrs back.. definitely helped with the pull back, didn't address the awkward angle of the grips though.. just put some miniapes on.. what a difference.

my sig pic has the risers..
