anyone have a photo of a Fat Boy with the same handlebars as the stock
Heritage Softail classic?
I had the Heritage bars on my Fat Boy. I have tried to upload a picture but file to big. I liked them, but went back to stock when I put a Memphis Shade Bat Wing on my bike. I have them for sale if you want to try them. I used my stock cables. Only hassle was running the wires thru the bars. PM me if interested.

Just a reminder, the diameter of the bars on your Fatboy are 1 1/4". I know that Kuma used the older style Heritage bars that are 1" in diameter, and don't have the same amount of rise as the 2009 & 2010 Heritage bars have (12" I believe). So he was able to use the stock cables to mount them. If you want to use the taller bar from the '09/10 Heritage, you'll have to swap out your stock cables for longer ones. If you go for the earlier style Heritage bars, you're going to have to get different risers for the smaller diameter bars.

The bars I have are the fat 1 1/4" bars. I believe you are correct about the height around 12". I had them on a 08 Fat Boy.
I have the stock heritage bars with 4" risers and you don't have to change your cables.They are nice but I'm installing a harley style fairing and I'm going to put a set of 14" monkey bars on. My brother just installed a set on his street glide and they look awsome.

on a side note (because I have no clue how to contact an individual)... KumaRide, where did you get that luggage rack in your photos, the one with the solo seat? Is it from Harley? Thanks
