Default Fat Bob with Mini Apes

Here's a few pics. The risers are from an '07 Wide Glide. Needed longer cables. No way the stock ones were going to make it. Love the bars. I'm tall and the ride is much more comfortable for me.

They look great. Do you have a photo from the side, showing the whole bike with you on it?

i like the look! IMHO the bars should be at least parallel or forward of the forks. try pushing them forward just a bit and you may like the look even better.

The bike rides just as solid and stable as before. I have not lost any sense of confidence with the taller bars. And, now I'm much more comfortable while riding with much less fatigue (the backs of my shoulders would ache after awhile with the drag bars).

BTW, I think the stock drag bars look cool. I changed them out mostly for comfort, but ended up being very pleased with the way the mini-apes look. I was a little apprehensive about making the change (aesthetically), but I really like the way it turned out. I spent a while choosing the bars and risers that I thought would look best. If you are going to change to mini apes on an FB, I think the risers are key. I've seen a pic of mini apes on top of the stock black 6" risers and the apes look silly. Harley has some chrome risers for the mini-apes, but they are pretty tall too (about 4" I think). I thought lower risers would look better, so I looked around the dealership and saw the '07 Wide Glide risers and ordered those. They rise the bars about 1-1/2 or 2".
