Default Handel Bars

Hi,
I just bought a 08 1200L sportster and do not like the handel bars that came with the bike.
Can I switch out the handel bars with like a drag bar type? And if so how hard would it be to switch out the bars. Or should it be done by the dealer?

Thanks
Wolverine

Depends on your mechanical abilities. Anything can be done, it just depends on whether or not you feel comfotrable doing the work or not.
