Handle bar pics please
Hey guys,
I recently traded in my 98 wide glide for the 2011 fat boy lo and I am looking at handle bar options. I had mini apes on the wide glide and I don't hate the bars that the fat boy came with but being 5'10 they are a little too low, narrow and forward for my complete comfort. I was hoping some of you guys could make some suggestions and post some pics. Also, please let me know if you had to change cables with your bars.
Thanks

I went with the Wild 1 Chubby 560B bars. Had to change out all the cables, but it was well worth the hassle/cost. By the way...what color did you get? I haven't seen the new white denim color or the other new one yet. Post some pics!

Thanks for all the info and pics guys. Money is a lil tight right now and was wondering if I could get away with maybe a riser of some sort to where I didn't have to do cables just yet while deciding what I want to go with.

I was in HD asking about the 6" risers when they told me that I'd really only get 1-2" off pullback with them. I really needed more pullback than rise. It was a lot more expensive to do it the right way and well worth it...but I'd have to answer your question with a "no". You won't be happy with just the rise if you really need the pullback. I'd recommend waiting until you can get what you really need/want instead of doing it twice. Just my $.02.

Jbq thanks for your $.02 I was looking in the parts catalog and I saw some short curl back risers but you might be eight on the saving up part.
