Default Need Advice on Apes for Fat Boy

I just traded my '13 Ultra Classic for a '17 Fat Boy. I had 12" Yaffees on my Ultra and want to do something in the 12" range, 1.25" bars for my Fat Boy, but there is very few bar manufacturers that have bars listed for this bike. I don't care for any on the HD site. I don't know if the bars have to be specific for a '17 Fat Boy or if any non-bagger pre drilled bars with fly by wire cable will do?

Any advice would be appreciated. Pics are great, too.

Not sure why your having issues finding bars. Plenty of options out there.
I purchased generic Meat Hook Apes on eBay for 200 bucks.

Start with B&R, then look at Carlinis, then look at the rest. Figure out how much you have to spend? B&R website is a worthwhile look just for the info he provides.

Wild Ones have amazing high quality bars in every configuration and colour you can imagine, and great service as well.
