FatBoy Lo Handlebars
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'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.

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
