Default Anyone changed bars on Fatbob?

Has anyone changed the handlebars on their fatbob? I've seen some with apes, but was thinking of drag bars something like street slammers. Also, thought of keepin my stock risers and putting on CVO Fatbob bars. Wondering how it would look, so if anyone has any pictures, I'd like to see.

Not bad at all. What kind are they and how wide? Those look like beach bars.

Thanks HD...looks like you are about the only one who has done something other than apes. I think yours are a little wider than I would like....Im thinkin more the same width as what is stock 31" (80 cm or so).

Hey 08fxdf,

How many cables did you have to change and what were the new lengths to reach the Fatboy bars?

08fxdf, that looks great. I really like that setup; thats pretty much what I was looking for too. Would be interested to know what cables you used also.

For the throttle and front brake I used stock length cables from an 09 Road King.
For the clutch I used a stock 07 Street Bob cable, it's a little longer than needed but looks ok to me.
