Fatboy bars on a dyna? problems?

I bought some 1 1/4 bars and risers that I think came off a 2007 fatboy.

the bars do not have the typical flat spot or taper that allows the master cylinder to fit with 1 1/4 inch bars.

Do FatBoys of this generation have a different master cylinder that allows fitment on bars without the flat spot?

I searched with no luck.

Thanks!

I have an 08 Fatboy and I changed the bars out for apes. No flat spots. Mine whole lever brake assembly would rotate until tightened.

The provision for making the system work (on an '09 anyway) is definitely a function of the shape of the master cylinder, and not that of the handle bars. Hope this helps.... JR
