I am looking for fatboy handlebar suggestions for a female rider. She has beach bars on it now and is waaay too stretched out to enjoy anything other than straight line cruizin .
Get a set of stock Heritage bars. They are the most comfortable bars Harley has ever had. You can roll back the bars to a comfortable position.
You won't have to change the cables, but will have to re-bend the metal part of the brake line.
I don't have pix yet, but I changed my Heritage Classic bars for Wild 1's. I'd recommend the 508's, which reach back a littler further than the 518's http://www.wild1inc.com/handlebars.html.
I'm 5' 4" and the stock heritage bars could not get close enough to me. I put Chubby's 12" ape hangers with 10" pull back and now have a reach seat and it's perfect. I was about 1" too far away from bar without reach seat.
