Default Fatboy Highway Bars?

Was hoping to gather a little information on highway bars. I have an 02 Fatboy and would like to get some bars, but not sure which style? If anyone has some photos of what the different styles look like on the bike that would be greatly appreciated. Any other feedback on this would help a bunch. THANKS!

My choice would be something like the Kuryakyn Cruise Arms. Highway bars seem to crunch the legs up more than when riding standard style....or at least for us long leg freaks.

Hi Brumm...I have the Kuryakyn Cruise Arms Mark III. They were really easy to install. If I I remember correctly I only had to drill 2 holes in the floor boards. They're adjustable and the pegs do fold in...but mine are always out. They sit just ahead of the floor boards.

I prefer the Harley nostalgic bars over the Lindby style bars. Put some highway pegs on them and you will be good to go. I think the angular cut on the Lindby style look out of place on a bike like the fatboy.

I just installed the Lindby Lindar on my Deluxe yesterday although it probably would look better with the HD bar that Drew is talking about.
