They are the Kuryakyn Cruise Arms. You can adjust them to any angle very easily. Here is another photo from a different angle.

RE: fatboy handlebars
I went with the Wild 1 (1.5”) Chubbys on my Fatboy also. As far as looks go I get all kinds of complements and people wanting to sit down to get a feel. As for the comfort, it is definitely the best thing I have done to the bike so far. One of my riding buddies wants the 12.5" apes I have now. I'll sell them to him and go with the 14". With the factory risers and the 12.5”s the grips are still 2” or so lower then my shoulders. I was a little intimidated at first before I did it, but after I sat on it the first time and 20k miles later it was a great choice. Thanks J.D. You made a believer out of me. I love my Kuryakyn Cruise Arms too. Had them sense day one.

Babs:
Thinking of getting Heritage bars for my Fatboy too - I think I need the grips about 2 inches closer for comfort on a longer ride - do you think you get that much out of the Heritage bars? Nice bike!

Check-out the Wild 1 Bars, www.wild1inc.com. I put the W0508 bars on and really helped with the riding position. Their site has pics of before and after. Hardest part was running the wires inside the bar.
Good Luck

RE: fatboy handlebars
As far as Heritage Bars are concerned, I am having mine replaced as we speak. Like someone said before my wrists are at a very uncomfortable angle and it brought my elbows into my ribs.
I told the guy what I wanted and he knew. they are going to be like mini apes as far as I know with the pullback angle at around 7". I have no idea how to measure them and am putting my trust in him. Also getting braided cabels and hidden wires. should look great.

RE: fatboy handlebars
Hi. I have 14" wild one chubby's (i think). That's what the guy I bought it from said. The comfort level is incomporable. I want to get 16"'s but am still thinking about it. Sorry for the bad pic, nut it looks like the last bike. Funny, huh.

RE: fatboy handlebars
If those are the wild1's then they look like the same one's i have on mine.12.5's.But they kind of appear skinnier.

Here's mine with Wild1 12.5 Apes. I love it since changing to them about 2 months ago
