Default FXDC Bars on a Fat Bob?

07 and 08 FXDC owners, how do you like the comfort of the stock handlebars?

I love the look of the black risers and drag bars on my Fat Bob, but unfortunatly I don't find them very comfortable on long rides.

Not sure I want to jump on the mini ape band wagon,and was thinking FXDC bar and riser set up might be a more comfortable fit, as well as a different look for the Fat Bob.

Default RE: FXDC Bars on a Fat Bob?

After I rotated the bars forward a bit I like them just fine. Before that I would have to move my knees out of the way
when doing tightturns. My shorter friends said they would need risers with more pullback to workforthem. (I'm 6'4")
I'm not going to change unless I go to apes[sm=confused06.gif]

I didn't like the stock bars and risers at all. Too low and not enough pull back, I'm 5-11. I'm sure you're aware that FXDC bars are 1" and not set up for internal wiring like you have now.
