Default New bars on the Fatboy

changed the bars on the FB over the weekend. Went from Carlini Clean Sweep 7's to Carlini 1.5" Street Bars. Much more comfortable ride and I think it makes it look low and a little mean. Liked the look of the drag bars, but they just got to uncomfortable. What do you guys think?

I like how the sissybar offsets the bike with the low handlebars

Flat and low, I like the look. I'm currently trying to decide what type of bar to swap out myself. This allows me the chance to imagine what it would look like and how comfortable it might be. Let us know especially on long hauls.

gc, their 1.5". The clamp is massive. By the way, your RK is awesome! Have always liked the Nostalgia bikes.

Man, those look good. That's the look I want for my fatboy. Unfortunately, I don't think they'll work for me. They have essentially the same rise and pullback as the stock bars, but they're 4.5" wider, which means my upper body would have to lean forward even more than it does now with stock. How would you rate them compared to the stock bars?

Oh man, *BONK ME ON THE HEAD*
I musta missed that in your post... sorry. Think I want those now! It sure does make it meaner looking

Thanks for the compliment as well... (though its a Heritage with a RK headlamp housing)

I think you are right, it does make it look lower and a little meaner, looks cool.

Can you get photos from a few more angles? Can't quite get a feel for how the new bars look

Just kidding, that looks sweet!

Those are hot! I have to stop looking at pictures of others mods, it is costing me too much $

How is the ride with them?
