Default Bob bars
What's the best way to go on a Street Bob--risers and flat bar (thinking FXDX bars) or one piece street slammer bars, powder coated black, of course?

I think the street slammer looks good but IMO I like the mini apes.

im partialto tall risers slight rise bar combo - like the stock sportster bar - same basic look as your fxdx option
i should have my version of thison next weekend if all my parts roll in and ill post
im not a big broom stick fan, but would definitley pick over the one piece with layback risers
the great thing about these option as opposed to the typical 16" ape swap is no cable change - yea, read my posts, im a cheap fu&^er
(though i aint nockin the look o apes, trust me)
to me they should bring back the fxdx - that bike kicks ***

Honestly, I really like the stocks mini apes. I had mine powdercoated black. I may go with some 3" risers just to get an extra inch but I really like how they feel now.

I’m a ape fan myself.
I have stock mini apes with 3’ risers.
Fits me just fine.
