Default Nice Ride!

Very nice bike. I have the V&H fishtails on mine. But I totally dig the beach cruiser look. Nice work.

I'm 6' 3 and changed to Wild Ones 504 ( they are the RK Bars ) on my Fat Boy. I do also have a C & C seat that lowered me about 1.5 in as well so with out the seat change I might have gone with a little more rise on the bars.

Check out the Wild Ones site for a lot of good info and pictures

I'm 6'2 and went with Barrons Big Johnsons. At 38 inches wide I have had no problems but I too put a C&C solo on which dropped and pushed me back.
