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.
I have a 15 Fatboy Lo going to put on a set of 11/2 Carlini clean sweeps on soon as I get them back from powdercoater!!! Have 12" wild one chubby apes on my Nightster so I needed a change, both bars are quality products!
Another one for drag bars. I like that they look more aggressive to me.
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.
