(0844) Fire Direction & Control for Marine Field Artillery.. was attached to 3/8 in 2005 in Iraq, was a good time. But yeah, I've noticed so many people on these forums are either in the military (a large portion of those are stationed overseas), or former militar..

You can just call V&H here in Cali and they'll ship them directly to you. I bought mine from them and just picked them up at the store.

I use my FBL for a bar hopper. I had 16" apes on it, but after banging my shoulder up, went to stock softail bars. I also changed the suck solid wheels to black bike black rims with stainless 60 spokes.

OWOF, what's the part # for the stock softail bars? those look perfect. Thanks!

Edit: Also, do you know what length cables you had to use for those?

Hi
Picked up My new 2011 Fat Boy Low last weekend & couldnt be any happier.
Its an awesome bike & loved every minute of the 400km ride home
I got the detachable sissy bar & rack & luggage along with Screaming eagle slip ons as $2000 worth of extras free with the bike.
Im going to keep the Dyna & give it to My Son who just got his learners & will be able to ride it in 2yrs

Look like standard FB bars to me, that's what I have. Clutch cable will be fine. You'll need the standard FB brake line, and slightly longer cables.
