Been running stock for over a year. Have them pulled back more than I'd like, to give some bend to my arms. Especially when riding with a backrest. Got short arms I guess.

I'm toying with the idea of moving up to a tourer but if I decide to keep the Heritage I'll likely put some bars on it with a few more inches of pullback.

+1 more - Heritage bars on a Fatboy.

if you go to the chubby wild 1 site your sure to find the perfect bar for your bike. maybe check out the 504's the look like they have a nice pullback for a heritage. they have tons of pics of different style bars on different bikes on thier site

Why do you think going to a tourer is "moving up"? (Just kidding) But seriously, I've got 26,000+ miles on my FLSTCI, and I wouldn't trade it for any bagger out there. Of course, I ride solo, and that makes a difference.

I went with Wild One 518s, as have many others here. Good pullback, not "wheelbarrow-wide" like some others. They eliminated the pain I'd get between the shoulder blades after an hour or so of riding. Also allowed me to run the wires through them for a cleaner look. Highly recommended.

I still have the stock ones on. I like them and don't plan on changing.
