Carlini Clean sweep or Super sweep bars for Fatboy?
I am looking to put Carlini T-bar on my 2005 Fatboy. Looking for sugestions and or pictures of bikes with them on. I am leaning towards the 1.5 inch, 9 inch rise Super sweeps. If anyone has done this can this be done with stock wiring and not having to extend them or the cables? I now have 1.25 inch buffalo bars with a 8 inch rise but want more than the 8 inch pullback. I also would consider a different brand bar with the right pullback. Thanks for any help.

as much as I really want to put drag bars on my Fat Boy I'm not really liking the high rise drag or t-bars on the FLT's. Something about that fat front end with skinny rise bars just doesn't look right, especially from looking straight on. Carlini has come out with a drag bar called "Lowdown". I would like to see it on a newer model Fat Boy. The bar search has been quite the challenge for me.

What are the options for drag style bars, that are thicker, and have little to no pullback, and are elevated?? I have the 14" Carlini Gangster apes on mine, still too high, because I get a pretty bad wobble with the bars pushed forward, and I test fit a set of 9" rise Cleansweeps I bought, and feel like they have too much pullback..............really stuck between looks and feel right now!! It is bad because I am sooooo tall (6'6"), have a pretty good reach, and would prefer to sit stretched out, and hands higher. The apes are great, too bad the bike handles so damn bad with them pushed that far forward. The bars are actually like too high, somewhere between 2 and 4 inches for them to be perfect, but look good. Its a combo of low seat, lowered rear suspension, and HD inverted fork (stock length) with thick top triple clamp. This should help me find a good drag bar combo, but so far has eluded me..............................

I have ordered myself Wild Ones WO517 road king bars.. they are suppose to work with stock cables and would give 14inch pullback which would be good. also the width would be 30.5 inch that would help.. I tried looking if anyone has them on but no one have them on but I will try and post once I get them.. I had to order 2inch riser kit since WO517 are 1inch at the clamp down area...
