Default New bars on my Fatbob

hello all
I traded in my Streetglide on a 2008 Fatbob. This Dyna is my favorite Harley so far and I have had a Sportster, Electra Glide standard, Classic, UltraClassic, FLH Shovel, and a couple of Road Kings, a Fatboy, a Heritage, and a Springer Softail. Anyway, here are the new bars and risers. The bars are LA Choppers 1 1/4 superbars and LA Choppers 1.5 inch risers. I wanted something that would give me a more aggressive riding position. These bars are perfect. I have to lean a little forward but it is comfortable. I also installed the reduced reach forward control kit from HD. I am 5'11 with a 32" inseam. I wish there were controls between mids and forwards but this will work for now. Hopefully the pics load. Let me know what you all think.
Thanks
SB

That looks fantastic!
So your saying you've got to reach a bit further forward now? Any higher or lower vs. Stock?

About an inch less pullback than the stock drag bars and a inch lower too. Used the stock cables and wires were long enough. Pretty easy job. Lowered the front an inch and a half too.
