Have a 2010 Lo and enjoyed it all summer. I have found that the stock handlebars just doesn't fit me well (I'm 5'4"). I tried pull back risers (4") and a reach seat. Decided I did not like the reach seat. I need to get the bars closer to get rid of the shoulder pain I get when riding.

My latest plan is too get a set of standard Fatboy bars. When I have ridden standard Fatboys, I liked the bars. Has anyone done this? Looking for info on how much closer these bars will be from the stock Lo ones and if there are any changes needed to wires, clutch or brake cables.

Thanks all and Merry Christmas

 

Have you thought about Buck Horns?

My pal has them on a Yamaha and I thought it brought them in too close for me. I am 5' 11.

If you can find someone who has a bike with them on, check them out. They may suit your reach and be more comfortable on your shoulders.

 

I put the fatboy lo bars on my '07 fatboy and only needed to change the front brake line. I'm 5'10 and the stock bars made me feel like I was leaning backwards.

 

I did this swap. The clutch cable will be fine. You'll need a standard FB brake line. You may or may not be able to route the wiring through the trees, but won't have to extend the wiring. You'll need standard FB length idle/throttle cables 34" if I recall.

 

I'm also 5'4" and in my opinion you won't get enough pullback from the standard Fatboy bars. I went with the Wild1Chubbys and I couldn't be happier. Got 14.5" of pullback and my back hasn't had any issues since I put them on.

 

You may also want to try a set of beach bars. I did this on my deluxe when I had it, and recently saw a set on a Lo and looked pretty damn good.

Apes take care of any and all riding pain imo.

 

like everyone else has said, you only need to get the front brake line. I made the switch from stock FB bars to the Lo bars and love them. I have long arms so the reach is no problem for me. If interested I have my stock FatBoys collecting dust and will sell

 

Sent you a PM.

 

I have a set of stock bars 07 Fatboy if you want them?
