Thanks for the reply. I dont have ABS on mine. I ordered a set of 6 inch pullback risers. I wonder what im going to have to change out. I might just buy a new set of bars.

The the 2012 bars will add 1.5" to the width tip to tip, 1.5" more pullback and 3" of rise compared to the stock 2010-2011 bars. That with the addition of 6" risers you may need new throttle and clutch cables as well.

Don'y know if this helps at all, but I put the stock Fatboy bar on my 2010 low (before the 12's came out) and I had to put on new cables. I also have the HD 4" pull back risers. Really like the position that it put me in. Made it much more comfortable for me.

I really did not even want to change my bars as I liked the stock look. But I needed the little bit of pullback to unlock my elbows and the 2012 (COMMON BARS) did the trick.

Is there a reason why you would get the triple play conversion over the Harley one? The Harley one is cheaper and does the exast same thing... Just my thoughts.

Hawt damn. In another thread, Malingerer mentioned 'Reed Deisgns' seat as an alternative to a deluxe seat and it's discomfort. I think it would look frikin awesome on a Lo....especially what I am trying to do with mine. I sent out an email on how to get my hands on such.

Thanks guys, I do have a set of 4 inch pullback risers laying here also. I ordered the 4 inch first, never put them on because compared to the stock risers, they weren't much different. So I ordered the 6 inch. Ill have to play with it a little. Also ordered a Mustang seat. Maybe I should just go with apes and get it over with. I like the look of the stock bars but my back cant handle it for more than an hour.

I would have liked going to Apes but I can't raise my left arm up past shoulder height for any extended period. Tried em on a friends Fatboy and could only last 10-15 min before I had to stop riding. I think you will be ok with the 6" risers and stock bars but the upper brake line may be the only issue. I know I have read where some have used the risers on a non ABS bike and got away with it.

Default Visored ring

Hey Jim,

New to the conversation on trim rings.. If you have it, what is the part number for your visored trim ring? I got part number 69733-05 and that thing is just too big for the stock headlight on my 2010 Lo. Just sitting it around the headlight The gap at the bottom of the new visored ring almost closes together even being around the bottom tab of the original trim ring. I dont see any way it will fasten tightly. And then, even if the circumference were correct, there is about a half inch gap between the front of the headlight and the back of the new trim ring leaving a void there you could stick your index finger into.

Any help would be appreciated... from anyone!!

Thanks.

I have the visored, and sent it out to the powder coater to make it gloss black:


and to answer the question, I just bought it at the dealer
