Default Handle bar advise ????

Got a '04 Fat Boy I was thinkin' about changing the bars/putting risers on. I'm thinking that I want to put a set of short laid back risers on it to give me just a lil' height & back just a bit......just seems that it would be more comfortable to me. Not sure if it'll work with my nacelle though(?). Or, I may be better off to just change the bars? My question is....what all is involved in changing this & which is the best way to go?

Default RE: Handle bar advise ????

Put some chrome bars on there. Harley has a nice Beach bar, or you can get some wild1 chubby's. You can chrome the housings and change the cables and grips. If you get new bars, only major decision is to have internal wiring or not, the rest is a choice and how deep your pockets are. Check the do-it-yourself forums and you can get info there.
