Few changes
Been trying to get my Lo just a little more comfortable for me, I am a short guy 5'4" and the drag bars were just not working. I looked into a bunch of different ideas, many that I found in this thread.
In the end I decided to go with the stock FatBoy bars. While the weather and free time has not been nice the past couple of days, The little bit of riding I have done has shown this to be a great change. I know this won'y be for everybody, but it works for me. I did have to lengthen the wires and put on new clutch and throttle cables.
Since it is also very close to my birthday my lovely wife purchased the black matching smoked covers for the turn signals that I wanted.
Here is a pic of the new bars
And here is a link to a few more and some of the new covers.

Just won an auction for some stock fatboy bars for $47. Now I just need to figure out which cables need to be swapped. Sounds like at a minimum, the brake and throttle. Are there any options for aftermarket brake cables that work with ABS yet? or should I just get stock fatboy cables from Harley? Gonna try to tackle the bar swap myself, hopefully things will work out.

Hope I answer all the questions....
Turn Signals are a stock harley part. The visor style like mine come in a front and a separate rear set. Front is Flat Black and the rear is Glass black so they match the light body. I got them right off the wall at the dealer.
You can also get just a smoked lens set from the dealer. Thats what I had before (Left over from my old sporty)
Mirrors are harley part also (92398-09). They are the tribal design. The seem to stick out more since I put on the stock fatboy bars.
I had the dealer do my bar install since I just don't have the time. They replaced the clutch cable (38664-07C), Front Brake Line (42303-08) Idle Control Cable (56342-01), Throttle Cable (56343-01) They also needed a gasket and some fluid. They stated they also extended the wiring, but there is no charge for that on my bill. I think I copied the part numbers correctly, but sometimes I type for crap.
Hope this helps

They would look good on your sled bro. I'd like to see someone step out and do a 21" on the LO. I'll give it till this winter and see if I'm gonna be the first or not. I hope someone does it before me so that I can check it out first haha.
