Default Another Damn Handlebar Question!

I am looking fo a set of bars for my FB. I like the looks of the Biltwell Keystones. The delimma I am having is with the FB being 35.03 inches wide, and the bars only being 28" in overall width, is that too narrow for the beast? I know that I am going to get alot of "it's your ride, do what you like", but just asking for opinions on the overall flow of the bike. They are inexpensive and good looking bars that i could use without having to get new wiring. I have put a 3" tank lift on her and it poses a slight issue with flipping the mirrors like I want to do.

Those are gonna be pretty narrow on a Fatbob. I dunno if I would go that route just because of the small 1 inch od and the narrow width. I have found wider Z Bars in 1/14 od that still use 1 inch risers and controls. i will see if I can find em again for ya.Here ya go
