I made this last winter. Liked the chrome as well.


When I sat on the low the bars stood out as a cool feature.

I think I made my mind up about the bars. I'm not going to go with Fatboy Lo bars, instead I'm going to go with the Heritage bars, much better feeling.

One more question, did you do something to the kickstand to reach it better or are you able to move the kickstand easily?

The fatboy Lo bars are very narrow. I sat on one at the dealer and really like the feel. Call the dealer for the part info.

I have had my Lo since September '09.
Hate the seat.
Hate the handlebars.
Back and butt pain after 1/2 hour & I'm 5'10'.
Any suggestions on a seat/handlebar replacement that would put you in a more comfortable/upright riding position before I give up on this ****** bike?

I'm about 6'2".

Longest ride on my Fat Boy Lo so far has been about 2 hours. Have to move my butt around a bit here and there but other then that seat is ok.

Bars - Personally I would like them to be about 2 inches closer to me, but after 2 hours very minimal stiffness in back etc. Very comfortable ride imho.

I will be putting on the black street slammers however, I like the look and they have a little more pull back.

i've put about 1000 miles on mine now and dont regret swaping the stock bars (narrow beach from the s/e fatboy) to the bars from a softail custom. no plans to change the seat yet but i have a glide for 2up longer rides.
