Apes for Fatboy S

So many to choose from, but what I'm looking for is a bar that lines up good with the front end. I'm usually a touring guy, but thought I'd throw a little money at my FB. Just fishing for some ideas, so what are you guys running?

I'll be the first guy running apes on his FB apparently. Awesome!

Plenty of ape threads around to browse through for pics.

I think the thick front end of the Fat Boy looks best with 1.5" bars, so that's what I went with when I did mine.

Ditto what Mother says, I like the 1.5" bars too. That's why they call it a Fat Boy! Big, Fat and Proud! I saw an Ausie's bars quite a while back and he'd gone 2"! Nobody much cared for em but I thought they looked bad ***. I'm running BR's Sweeping Beaters by the way. 1.5" x 12".

I've been going with Wild1 Inc. as well. Love the spread and angle at the grips, sits great inline with the bars. Thicker than standard for a beefier looks without going overboard. Great plumbing for running elec. lines through and the 16" keeps my hands inline with my shoulders. Combined with the backrest, very comfortable ride all day, day after day.

They also sell blems for a reduced price. I went that route on my first set from Wild1 and was so happy, I went back later when needed. They also stand behind their bars very, very well.
