Default New (old) bars...
I had my old beach bars powdercoated and I put them back on my fatty the other day. What a difference. They just "Fit" the bike better. Both in looks and relaxed riding position. I still have to change back to my old cables cause these are way too long. I''m debating whether I should put on my other stainless cables or some sort of black ones. What do you think?

Bike looks good with the new bars. Go with the black cables for that complete blacked out look.
