Default Hello from Vermont!

Hello all! Not an HD owner yet. Have a Victory Vegas 8-ball that is going to my son and am looking to get either a 2022 street bob or a 2022 Fat Boy. It really depends on which one fits me best. I do have a question since I am new to owning a Harley, is there a standard for handlebars?

The first things I will upgrade on either bike is the handlebars and exhaust. I like FMB Chopper's bars but I am not up on the Harley aftermarket scene (any links would be appreciated). In starting to look around, I don't see some of the newer models listed. Do previous year models translate well for the newer models? Like if I searched for 2020 or 2021 Street Bob bars?

Thanks and I cannot wait for riding season!!

Oh last question. That iconic Harley sound. Is the only way to achieve that by getting an older carbureted model? I just love that sound.
