Look very much like stock Fatboy bars?

These are the only other ones I have on this computer. I need some more current pics, but here you go...

Thanks for the pics Rednose44. Hopefully I'll be getting my pipes soon and I can post pictures of my bags on the bike.

I originally went to Harley but they only had them in chrome.

As a a few people have mentioned, the holes are relatively small and don't look bad empty. A little bigger than the diamater of a pencil. I originally bought a relocation kit for my tail lights, and it comes with 2 rubber grommets that fit into one set of holes. The other is currently empty but you'd never notice unless you look real close. I'd take pics but the bike is getting a few go-fast upgrades and will be out of sight for a few weeks.

Them go-fast upgrades are the best kind. I am trying to decide if I want to go 107ci with cams and head work this next winter or wait until I am out of warranty.

finally got the bike back outside, fired her up, but the rear cylinder is burning oil or something.. a fair amount of white smoke coming out the rear pipe. i guess i'm going to double check the PCV and make sure the map is still in it.. i hope it's something simple and not from relocating the coil and changing the plug wires and plugs..hopefully. i'm supposed to take it to my buddy who's a bike builder/repairer/fixer-upper anyways for a new tune and map, so we'll see how it goes.

Just edited your text a bit Smokey... Guess this is a solution to your problem?

Is it cold outside? Is it smoke and not steam/condensate? I get a lot out of mine rolling it out of the warm garage to the cold outside and firing it up. It quits after a couple of minutes. I would expect it to be blue and smelly if it was oil.

I think it was just the ceramic coating curing, because the smoke was coming off from the heat shields too.. i reprogrammed my PCV, put some fresh gas in it, took it for a ride..she rode good, except I forgot to tighten 1 bolt down.. the damn one for my mirror.. as soon as I hit the gas the mirror started spinning around on its stem.. sometime this or next week though I'm still gonna send her in for a proper mapping and tuning, which i've never had done..i've been using a generic map from PC's website

Nice. Glad it wasn't anything serious. That would really suck after having it laid up for so long.
