Here (http://wild1inc.com/910jv.html) are some risers/bars from Wild 1 Inc. 10" risers + bars. Not bad at all - https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdforums.com-vbulletin/800x532/80-910i_611ee3732c020d39050d4e275bc576f3cb6a0e43.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.hdforums.com-vbulletin/800x749/80-910n_43dbfbbee929d3515cda59b4439741957c3c1364.jpg

Big Al's makes these. They match the Fat Bob OE style a bit more.

I'm not a fan of tall bars or apes personally. But if I did ever want to raise the bars on my 2018 Fat Bob, I would use those.

Cool - and they definitely go with the industrial look of the Fat Bob.

Have any of my fellow FXFB owners jumped on swapping out their handlebars yet? I'd love to see some pictures.

My '13 Super Glide came with baby apes on it already (about 10-14", I think) from the PO, and I suspect they're causing me trouble with my rotator cuff in my left shoulder, so would like to switch to more "factory" bars. With that said, if you'd like to swap, bars and cables, I might be interested, though my bars are chrome instead of black, but I would prefer the black.

I've actually been talking to Doug from DOUGZ.com and he did tell me that a fairing for the new Fat Bob is in the works.

I wouldn't mind having a 7 inch riser in at two or 3 inch pole back but would want the faring to cover that up I don't like the way it changes the looks of the bike. The other problem is I love the stock bars for the handling of this bike and like you, I don't want to lose any of that. I do have issues with my shoulder and hand is still having those bars up a little higher would certainly help that. None of those issues are due to the stock bars but to health conditions😕
