I must be the only one that likes the Lo stock handlebars. I put them on my '07 FatBoy. I have longs arms so maybe that helps. Got the Lo seat on also.

Markske....Have you considered trying the later FatBoy stock bars on your Lo?

Probably shoulda mentioned old broken bones in my wrists and 30 yrs of wrenching on aircraft in the cold (except for those other hot sandy sh*tholes). They did look good on the RK Classic. I am a little surprised to see all the positive feedback on them. I guess I am the odd guy out on this one.

What about "pull back bars" from the Harley Fit Shop accessories? It will bring the bars closer to you.

When the new catalog comes out, the split V drag bars from the Blackline should be in it. That's another option.

I kept my bars stock on the Lo, but that's because I have a long reach but short inseam. My clothes would fit most primates.

Thanks guys!
Lots of options to choose from... lots of decissions to take!

@ JimsFBL: I really like that bike!
@ Dugan: I don't really like the look of the stock FB bars. They are too curved...
@ Ockam: Pullback bars from the Fit Shop aren't my cup of tea either...
It's probably me!

I put the Narrow beach bars with 4" pull backs on my 2010 fatboy (not a low) and my hands and wrists felt perfect. The only problem is after installing everything I hate the look of them.
They have 3 miles on them and I am taking them off and going with somethign else. Looking forward to pulling the tank after I just filled it.

Default Love the stock bars on the Lo

The stock bars on my Lo are good for me. As others have posted...it's very personal.

I like the look and the feel/fit.

If, after some long rides I find the need to pull back the bars...I'll go with the pull back risers and keep the stock Lo bars.

That is why I didn't go with the narrow.
