Default Harley's Chizeled Handle bars on Softail? Anybody have them and like them?

Thinking about maybe instaling Harley's new Chizeled Ape hanger bars on my Fatboy. Anybody else go with them? If so like them or hate them?

I have had them for a couple months now and I love them. I know Johan has them on his fatboy. He just barely put them on a couple days ago.

Awsome. They look great on your Slim. They really look like they where made for the FL front ends. I wonder if the width of them at the edges of the handle bars are more narrow then my stock Fatboy bars?. Looks like they are. Which would be good since i keep my bike inside my house. Makes it easier in and out of the door way. Lol

Yeah, they are a perfect fit to the FL front end for sure. They are quite a bit narrower than slim bars and I think the slim bars are similar to the fatboy bars width wise.

Beautiful bike. My local HD dealer has a Deluxe on the showroom floor with the Chizeled bars installed. I sat on it a couple weekends ago and fell in love with them. They are pretty narrow but feel great IMHO.

I did all the work myself and bought the cable and wires extensions in a burly brand kit so for me it was about $400 in parts.
