Default 2008 Fat Boy Handle bars Up Grade Suggestions

2008 Fat Boy Anniversary Edition. Just bought this 1 owner from an 86 year old veteran, who still rides his bagger! I have owned Road Kings, Street Glides (sold my 2019 SG Special in August) Heritage and Sportsters. This is my first Fat Boy. I love the look of a FB and wanted to do something different in having a "Cruiser." The bike is stock and is in perfect condition, never seen the rain or any weather of any sorts. I want to look at handlebars and wanted to know from any of you what is good on a FB? I had Wild One Chubby bars on the SG and loved those. Give me some thoughts on this and what you may have in pics?
Thanks for the help.

My opinion: 1" bars on a big bike don't look right. I am a Carlini fan, I like the 1 1/2" thick bars. I have had 18" chrome Carlini Gangsters, Burly beach bars, and now Black Carlini 12" x 1 1/2" Menace bars. To quote Carlini: "You shouldn't steer your bike with a clothes hanger".
