Default Fatboy Handlebars
Does anyone know if aftermarket handlebars have part #s stamped or marked on them anywhere ? My 05 Fatboy has a set of aftermarket bars and I really like them, I want to do chrome switch housings, cables etc... so I need new bars that are drilled for internal wires, Problem is I can't figure out what bars previous owner used. I think they are a Buckhorn style, width is 30.5", pullback is 14", 12" center widthand rise is 7", closest I can find is Wild 1 chubby's with 8.5 rise, 31 width, 10" center width, and 14.5 pullback, I'm wondering how much the couple inches on a couple of the measurements is going to change things ?

could make a big differance. Think if your foot pegs were a couple of inches farther out would that be comfortable?

Just drill the ones you have.

Great suggestion. And then with the money that you save on bars you can get braided steel cables, and still come out ahead.
