Low handlebars on Street Bob?
What are some good, low handlebars like what you might find on the Softail Slim or in the attached image? I'm planning on getting a Street Bob when I get out of boot camp and I'll only have 10 days before I go back for more training, so trying to figure out which handlebars I want beforehand so I can order them right away and get them changed.

Why not get a low rider or fat bob? The handle bars are usually why people buy the street bob for the mini apes. Save yourself on the new bars and cables. You'll need shorter cables also that will run you a couple hundred. Also keep in mind abs is another headache when changing cables.

I like the look of it, I might just go with the Slim bars myself, how much did it cost for the handlebar change alone?

Go with at least a 1.25 to 1.5 inch bar. It'll really beef up the look of the bike. You'll need a new riser if the bar you choose doesn't tapered down in the middle. Might be worth getting a pullback riser if that's your thing. I personally would avoid stock bars if they are 1 inch. They look like bicycle bars.
