Default Z Bars on a Fat Bob.

I've always liked Z Bars, and I've been thinking about getting shorter risers and Z Bars, to the effect that my hands would be about the same Height.

I get that they would likely be narrower than the factory drag bars and I'm ok w/that.

Has anyone put these on a Fat Bob? What do you think about the look?

Hey man...I helped a bud install a set on his sporty last year. Internal wiring kinda sucked. Ok, it actually really sucked even with a compressor and all that.

I'm not sure I have a pic of them installed but IMO, it sort of added that little bit to a cool bike. If I can find one in the next few hours, I'll post it.

Iron2640 was there a sand storm going on when you took those pics. The 3rd pic looks like a tornado or sand storm going through. Non the less those bars look great. Did you internally wire them. Seems like that would be tough with those tight corners.

Those Z-Bars are absolutely sick. I may look at putting some on my Fat Bob now. I have never seen them before. Also, that picture is a wall man. It is not a sandstorm. haha

Those do look sick! Never gave Z bars much thought, but those look real good (especially that rear shot)!
the wall does look like something out of the movie Twister, LOL

Well, it's not a sand storm, it's just a ..wall! It was impossible for my mechanic to internally wire them, but as you can hopefully see in the 3rd pic it's not that bad!

Even with you saying its a wall, i still cant see it. Its like those scrambled pics i guess, maybe if i stair at it long enought i will get it. Yea i see the wires in the 3rd pic. Since the bars are low you dont really notice them. THe bars do look bad ***.
