Default Helping son,
Will these bars bolt onto an 08 Fatboy? If so, Im buying them and shipping them to my son. He needs a little new toy before heading to Afghanistan.

Thanks,

Give this dealer a call, tell them the year and model. They should be able to answer all your questions regarding fitment issues, im sure they can be applied. A lot of shops can work miracles with new additional parts.Make the call first.Tell your boy to keep his head down, and thanks for his service and courage. GOOD LUCK

Be careful with this place. I have bought some stuff from them. They have no phone number and only use e-mail. I bought a rotor and what they shipped me was not what was ordered. They took care of it but it took a long time.

Tell you son "God Bless him" and Thank you.

Thanks for the help guys, I actually have two Sons heading over seas. My oldest ships out tonight for Iraq, His 3rd deployment, and my youngest heading for Afghanistan next month, His 2nd deployment. I'll pass on the well wishes to both of them.
Thank You!

I believe the stock bars have a rise of about 4" on a 1" riser so as long as the width of both bars are the same it should work. tell your son Thank You from us stay safe and come home soon...
