Default Drag bars on a Fatboy Lo
Thinking about changing to drag bars and lowering my risers. Anyone out there that as done this? How does it ride? Kinda looking for that slung look.

Looking forward to the feedback and thanks!

I put a set of carlini clean sweeps on my 2015 fatboy lo and love the look and ride. They make the bike feel like a different animal, much better handling with the hand positioning more comfortable. Already have apes on my 09 Nightster so I wanted different look. The 11/2 bars fit the look off fatboy , and I needed no cutting to the freight train nacelle !!!!

Years ago I had beach bars on another Harley I owned.
Recently, I bought my Fatboy with drag bars and I love it.

Those look awesome, maybe slightly shorter risers.

Oh and you might need some more chrome! LOL!!
