Default Fat Bob handlebars fit Street Bob?

Sat on a Fat Bob at the dealer recently. Really liked the feel of the Fat Bob bars. Seemed to fit me well.

Anybody know if these bars will fit an '07 Street Bob?

thanks!

You're lucky you have an 07', the 08's and up require you to swap tripple trees to fit drag bars. The fatbob bars will fit, but you will need the risers as well. It may be cheaper to go with a drag bar from Debrix Cycles. I paid $11 for mine and risers are like $20 or $30 on ebay, plus you can get any rise/pullback you want.

Appreciate the input. I know the master cylinder and the turns etc are a little different set up (which I like). Trying to score the whole deal. I need to replace my master cylinder anyway so I may go the whole route if I can.

Cool Bob to Bob Bars

I have a Fat Bob and took the stock bars off and had installed 1 1/4" Fat Boy bars on the stock risers. I needed to sit up a little more. The stock Fat Bob bars and risers are 1 1/4" so you need to change everything. The ends of the bars reduce to 1" so your exhisting Master Cylinder should fit. I had a dealer do it with Black Diamond Cut Cables and it was PRICEY.

Your lucky you have the 07. I put new bars on my 08 and had to change out the triple tree. I put the HD street slammer bars on mine. Definatly worth all of the hassle, i'm very happy with the bars.
IMO, if your gonna change the bars, make sure you get some with internal wiring. looks much better

Creaky,

couold you post some photos of your Fat Boy bars on the Fat Bob. I was interested in doing just that a while back. Also you say it was pricey, what did it end up costing you?
Thanks

Timely info. Thinking about this one myownself.

I have the WideGlide 1 1/4" risers, But they are pretty short.

Anyone have the measurement for the fatBob risers
from the top of the tree to the center of the bars??
