For a fatboy if you want to use the same risers you have you will need bars that are 1.25" without a step down in them. Or, you can get a 1.25" bar stepped down and a set of 1" risers. You will need new cables(throttle,idle,brake, and clutch) and a wiring extension and polyurethane riser bushings. Any idea what height apes you want? I can get you everything you need and provide the proper length cables and all to help avoid any guesswork. Pm me and we can talk.
