Default Fat Bob Handlebars

I drove my friends Street Bob (2011) and was amazed at the handlebar. Way more comfortable than my Fat Bob bar.

Is there anything similar that I can put on my fat bob? What are my choices.

I would prefer it in black and with links/pics, so I can see them. If someone has them on a bike, I would like to see that too.

I assume I would also have to change out the cables, so advice on that would also be appreciated.

The stock Street Bob bars are part# 59782-07. You should be able to find a set of take offs for not much money. Other than that, there are lots of bars available from many manufacturers.

Have a look at the Wild1 Outlawz, they come in black and have a better wrist angle then the stock Street Bob bars which makes them more comfortable.

You have limitless choices which are only limited by how much you want to spend.

The stock SB cables will work also.

Wow, thanks for the Wild1 link guys........

I think I'll go for one of their baby Apes.

There's a FXDF here with some 12 1/2 inchers.....

But I think that the bars look too thin on the bike. Needs much thicker bars.

That being said, who makes super thick bars?
