So one of my biggest gripes about my Fat Bob is the handlebars. I had 14" apes on my 2013 FLS and I loved them. For the Fat Bob I personally would like to go w/ a t-bar setup (either fixed or risers w/ moto bars), but I think some apes would look cool too.
Have any of my fellow FXFB owners jumped on swapping out their handlebars yet? I'd love to see some pictures.
My '13 Super Glide came with baby apes on it already (about 10-14", I think) from the PO, and I suspect they're causing me trouble with my rotator cuff in my left shoulder, so would like to switch to more "factory" bars. With that said, if you'd like to swap, bars and cables, I might be interested, though my bars are chrome instead of black, but I would prefer the black.

I've actually been talking to Doug from DOUGZ.com and he did tell me that a fairing for the new Fat Bob is in the works.
I wouldn't mind having a 7 inch riser in at two or 3 inch pole back but would want the faring to cover that up I don't like the way it changes the looks of the bike. The other problem is I love the stock bars for the handling of this bike and like you, I don't want to lose any of that. I do have issues with my shoulder and hand is still having those bars up a little higher would certainly help that. None of those issues are due to the stock bars but to health conditions😕
