Default fatboy handle bars

OK I have a new 2009 Fatboy with the 1 1/4 bars and risers. why question is .. what has everyone been doing for bars? I like the cafe racer/knuckle bars type and I see that Flanders is selling Bad Boy 1 1/4 bars and they look cool to me but I cant see them on a bike. Fatboy stock bars are 11 inches in the center and the Flanders are I think 7 so Im wondering if it looks funny not being as wide in the center. The Screaming Eagle Narrow beach bars look cool also.. what has people been doing for bars on the 1 1/4 inch risers.. anyone got any pics.. Thanks.

I put on Klock Werks Mentele bars this past weekend here are a few pics. I have done a few short rides (Raining here in Michigan all week) so far they are comfy. I love the Hot Rod look of the bars. I was able to use stock cables and wires but you need 1" risers and move the signals to the fork.
