Will you need longer cables/pipes to do that? I was interested in doing that a while ago.

I put up post 31 on this thread years ago in 2014. I just bought back my fatboy after the oter owner had it for 7 yr and did not use it.
I still love the Wildones 504 bars I put on it, Very comfortable rider position and work with stock cables and wiring.

Grew up riding BMX bikes, then motocross, then street bikes and on to Harleys. bars have always been the same on all the two-wheeled contraptions.


I stick with what works for me...narrow beach bars with a little pull back.

I have the same pullback drag bars on all my bikes. I have hand problems, stiffness and carpal tunnel, from years of use and abuse. I've tried apes in the past and they make things worse. I find keeping my arms lower, below my heart, helps with circulation and numbness.

I also like the stiffness of the bars, no flex. Better visibility.
