Fatboy with drag bars?
I am on my second configuration of handlebars on a '07 Fatboy and don't care for how they look. But, they are very comfortable.

I read about front end wobble with drag bars on the fat boy, I don't think they got it fix and had to switch bars.

I had the same challenge. Actually bought drags and never installed them. Went with 10" apes instead.

I think drag bars and a 16" wheel are a bad combination unless you have forearms like Popeye.

I put the HD Slammers on my 09 Fattie. Just started riding it today, so far, they feel good.

Maybe take a look at Carlini's. Mine are 9" super sweep.

Hey 08Fatboy, I like the looks of those 10" Apes. What kind are they?

Did you have to change cables and do you have a pic handy? I've been thinking about those. Thanks.

I have 9" rise, 6" back, 1.5" thick bars on mine. I've had them on now for a year and this is the first time I've heard of a FB with drags as having front end wobble. I like the look as well as the riding position with the drags. Still have the stock cables on for now.
