Unhappy FatBob drag bar help

So I ran into a problem doing the internal throttle - seems the inside diameter of the stock FatBob bars is non standard (and too thin) for the internal throttle to work.

So my options are:
  1. scrap the internal throttle idea
  2. go with different bars

I've decided on #2

Problem is, I like the stock bars and so I was hoping to find some replacement that more or less mimics the stock configuration - don't really need extra height and or pullback

According to their website, looks like the burly slammer drag bars won't work.

One of the other bars I'm looking at are the Carlini clean sweeps 1.25" Anybody know if these will work? It seems like they'd be pretty close to stock.

Anyboy have any other suggestions?

Thanks
Jack

Default Bars

Have you looked at the Flanders web site ? They sell a lot of broomstick type bars and you can probably find the diameter you want.

If you are selling your stock Fat Bob Drag Bars, please shoot me a private message, I am interested depending on what you want for them.
