Default fatboy bars

Thinking about changing my bars. Whats everyone using?

I was looking at these 6" wired bars http://www.demonscycle.com/Handlebar...-p2770112.html

I know some people don't like demons but they have wired bars.

First, from what I hear, stay faaaar away from Demon.

Next, do you have a regular FB or a FB LO? If you have a LO, get rid of those bars unless you enjoy neck, shoulder, and back pain.

If you have a regular FB, try the 4" pullback risers as they work without switching any cables and they put the bars in a MUCH more comfortable position.

I found a 4" and 5" straight riser for my bike. Does anyone know how much room I have before I have to go to a longer brake line and modify my wire harness? do I have enough wire harness to go with 5?

I found these:

http://www.debrix.com/BILLET-4-Solid...26-0599-vt.htm

any better of a deal?

And those bars, wiring and controls are going for about the price of just the controls with no switches. Hrmm.
