Hi Leeroy, nice work, just wondered did you have to get new handlebar wires and cables when you changed the new bars, thanks

Default Fat Boy or Slim
I can trade my XL1200L for a 2013 Slim or sell sporty outright and buy a Fat Boy with ABS. Can't seem to decide. I love the low height of the Slim but sit flat footed on a Fat Boy too. Thoughts? Is the Slim more manageable?
