Love my new bars and risers on Fat Bob
Just put 2010 Wide Glide bars and Fat Boy risers on my Fat Bob. Granted, they're HD stock parts, but still love the look. I think the risers look great with the dual headlight. And, since they are a little shorter than stock, I didn't need new cables.
More mods to come soon.

Sane combo I'm in the process of installing except I'm powder coating the bars and trees satin black - glad to know I picked the right cables. The bars are also used on the Fat Boy Lo so you've got a standard FBL setup there. I like it because you have the option of turning the risers around to push the bars forward.

Feels pretty much the same to me ...
Height: Touch higher -the WG bars rise 4.5" and the Fat Boy risers are 2.5", so that's 7" The stock Fat Bob is 5" risers and 0" on the bars.
Width: Almost the exact same. 1/4" more narrow on each side
Reach: Doesn't feel much different. Maybe these are a touch further away - guessing an inch.
Hand position: Compared to the drag bars, your hand position is rotated - wrist in, knuckles out - just a little, maybe 10 degrees.
That changed last year, 2010, along with the rear fender.
I thought about that as was driving it home last night!
