Carlini 1 1/2" Freeway Bars on a Fatboy
Thought I'd post pics for those wondering about Carlini's Freeway bars opposed to a beachbar on a fatboy, big difference. Also installed the HD Delux Auxillary Light Bar while it was down.
I installed the 1 1/2" Freeways with Carlini's Piston Risers and gave the fatboy one helluva nice profile. The ride is excellent and my arm posistion is much better. I'm only 5'8".

That particular set of Carlini Freeways have a 5" rise, 13" pullback, with 35 1/2" width.

lol benway...surely you dont think I missed that. They are set up for my comfort not for looks. My comfort zone was actually a coupla degrees forward, that is as far back I was willing to sacrifice.

Gratz & great choice.
One the reasons I went with the same Carlini's was to mix cruiser style with comfort. When raised down they have a great line to the FB.
My bike has them down a bit....basically riser section in line with the forks. May still drop them a bit once all my $hit is done to the Lo.
Enjoy!

Carlini Freeway Bars
Absolutely love the look of those Carlini Freeway Bars, where did you have the black PC done? does Carlini do that themselves?
I am thinking those are the bars I am going to go with, however I am just trying to find a way to try them out first. I am 6'1" and have a decent reach, so even the stock Fat Boy Lo bars are comfortable for me. I don't really want apes because I like the profile of the bike the way it is.... these just look perfect, just want to make sure they will be comfortable for me.
Any thoughts?
You're bike looks great btw, what kind of engine guard is that on there?

Concerning the comfort...Carlini Freeways I have to say Is my favorite mod aside from the engine work. Just did road trip with a few days of 8 hour rides. Very comfy.
Cheers
