I've always found drag bars to be the most comfortable for me

 

Just saying but the stock 4" risers off a Deluxe would work great for ya.....

 

just my 2 cents worth.
I went from the 2 up Corbin to the stock solo then to the Mustang solo and the difference was huge way more comfortable BUT I also have the 4" risers. Like you say the floor board extension will also help.

 

nope - the Deluxe has 1" handlebars and the Fat Boy 1 1/4"

 

UPDATE:

Today I install the 4" curved risers on the Fatboy, part # 56269-09. Installation was straight forward and was accomplished in approximately one hour.

I did not have any problems with any of the electrical wires. I did NOT flip the clutch cable over the handlebars as someone mention. It stills moves freely, however, I may go ahead and flip it over because that appears it will allow more "freedom" for the cable. On the right side I removed the top brake line hose clamp located on the backside of the triple-head and left the bottom hose clamp connected. It was really trying to "stretch" the brake line and by removing the one clamp everything is fine now. I did about a 10 mile test ride and everything worked fine.

It's amazing that moving the bars up another 2 inches (compare to stock) and rearward 1 1/2 inches could make such a difference for me. My arms and hands are much more relaxed now and my sitting position feels better. I'm sure on long rides that I am going to be very happy now.

My thanks to all who gave me their suggestions and opinions. This is what makes a forum like this such a great place to find help and learn from.

Thanks again,

VONZOOG - any after photos?

thanks for the update - this is something I really need to do too.

 

Taking the pictures will be no problem. Now getting them posted here may be. I will have to figure it out and try to post tomorrow.

I'm 5'9" and that little bit of rise and setback worked out fine for me. Just got back from a two hour ride and I am happy with it. Now when my body warms up a little I will be fine...LOL

 

Okay, I hope that I did this right and you are able to see what you need.

Risers installed

This shows how risers have a clean and finish look. The bolts mount from underneath allowing a clean chrome finish. No bolt heads like the stock risers.

This shows how the handlebars are set back now. Stock risers have the bars in straight line with the forks.

Hard to see here. I am trying to show the stock risers next to the 4 inch curved risers. Doesn't look like much, but it does make a difference.

Again, hard to see. The top brake hose clamp has been removed and the rubber groment is slid down the brake line and is resting on top of the bottom hose clamp. Removal was needed to free up brake line.

I hope this helps.

 

Nice ride :d
