Default Fat Bob Bars?
Hey guys, I'm looking for some ideas and advice on what to do with the bars on my 2010 fat bob. I've been looking at west coast t bars and the ronald sands vintage king apes so far but I have no idea what to do. I just know I need a new bar set up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I attached a couple pictures of my bike for ideas.

I put 8" risers on mine which brought them higher and a little closer which was perfect level for me. Around $80 off ebay.

I currently have 2" spacers and I want the bars up higher with more pullback.

I replaced mine with the Street slammer satin black. Integrated riser and they sit back just a little more. Cleans it up nice and are comfortable.

Pics of my street slammers...


Side picture to show pullback. FYI: Also, for reference I have a 2" tank lift installed.
