Default Fatboy Bars or Mirrors?.

First year with the new Fatboy LO and luvin it. But now that I got a quite a few rides in with many looks, it's time to start thinking of modding for comfort. First on the list is dealing with my mirrors and wide shoulders. When I wear my jacket, I cant see the traffic lines behind me...with a tshirt, it isnt so bad. But annoying at times shoulder checking a 180 to know what traffic is behind me afar. Anyways, not sure what to do. I talked to my dealership about getting longer stems for the mirrors, but the mirror packages looks 'blah' and $300 for anything decent. I might as well start thinking new bars then even though the stock bars I find are very comfortable in comfort and handling. No apes though.

Thoughts, links or suggestions?

/cheers

I bought these on Ebay for my Lo.

I can see behind me now. Couldn't see a thing before. Well made and they look good. You can find them on Ebay for about $90 a pair.

Had the same problem as you. I tried the Harley extenders and they just did not work for me. I use these now and they work great. http://compare.ebay.com/like/3504606...=sbar&_lwgsi=y

These bars solved my problems. Now I'm comfortable and I can see behind me.
