Default Yet another handlebar question :)

Have a 2010 Fatboy Lo and love it. I do not like the reach to the bars. I have tried several things to get it to "fit" better. I have tried the stock seat, 4" pull back risers, changed to a reach seat, that didn't seem to help either.

I have ridden a "regular" Fatboy and like the stock bars for them. Does anyone know if the stock Fatboy bars will fit the Fatboy Lo? If the bars fit will the stock wires/brake line from the regular Fatboy fit on the Lo?

I know there are some other bars out there and wonder if any of those are similar to the position of the stock Fatboy bars? Currently when I ride after 20 miles I get shoulder cramps that I just cant figure out how to get rid of.

Looking for any and all suggestions on how to fix the issue so I can do it thsi winter and not miss any riding next spring.

Thanks in advance for the assist.

You are looking for the RK style bars which both Drag Specialties and Wild 1 sell. Both bars are very similar in shape, The Drag bars are just less expensive because they are a house brand product. Quality wise....same.

Was just researching doing this mod but in the other direction (Fatboy bars to Fatboy lo bars). The only cable difference appears to be the front brake line. All the others are the same.
