Question Question Looking for new handle bars

Hello need some help Looking for new bar for my 99 Fatbay the bars I have are about 12" high but the problem is that they are 35.5" wide and I could use them to be narrower because of a bad back and short arms.

Can anyone tell me where I can fine some bars that are not that wide, I haven't checked at my HD dealer yet to see what they have.

thanks ahead for any help
yes I know there are lots of bars out there the trouble is finding the ones that I like.

Hi

Try eBay if all else fails, there are some sellers on there who will make to your spec if you can't find what you want


Sorry to hear about the bad back

all the best

This guy will make a set for you any way you want them. A bit pricey, but it was well worth it to me.

The RSD Vintage apes are 30" wide. 12" tall with a 6.5" center width and 4" of pullback. I think they would work great. Todd's Cycle 12" 1.25" strip bars are 32" wide 9" center and 5" pullback. Their 1" strip bars are about the same. Email or PM me DREW@DRVTWIN.COM and I will find what you need. There are plenty of options to choose from.

Here is a video of the hand position while youre riding too....this is the 16" bar, but the width and pull back is the same.
