Default Fatboy handlebars-Hate them

I can't stand the bars on my 09 Fatboy. I do however like the setup on the Fatboy Lo. Has anyone swapped these from a Lo to a Standard fatboy? How hard was it, or is it pretty straight forward? The only thing I would do is move the signals to the forks, but I can't find a kit to do that. Thanks in advance.

Don't know for sure but the cables might be too long.

I don't know about 2009, but I felt the exact opposite on the 2010! Before buying my FB, I sat on the Lo and my back and shoulders hurt in the showroom due to the bars on the LO! To each his own...

don't be afraid of moving the turn signals to the forks. Very simple. If interested I will pm you with how I did it. If I can do it you should be able to also. I don't know of a kit. All you need is a piece of all tread. Let me know if I can help.

Every one likes there own style bars. For me I went with the street slammers and love them on my FatBoy. To move the signals to the fork all you need is two bolts and cut the heads off. Remove the screw from each side of the fork covers and presto you are done. Not a big job at all. Sorry but I for got the size bolt you need.
