2010 to 2012 Fat Boy Handlebar change
I understand the handlebars on the 2012 FLSTF are different than my 2010. I'm trying to find rise, pullback, etc. for both years so I can compare the two to see if the 2012 OEM handlebars will fit my needs. I can measure, but I'd like to make sure.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks Detroit Iron, the picture helps.
The OEM handlebars, which are still on my bike are about 2" lower than I need, and 2" farther away from my seat than I need.
Judging by the picture, the 2012 handlebars may fit just right.
Did you need to change to the 2012? If so, I'm 5'11", how tall are you. Don't mean to get personal, but if you are as tall as me and you can now reach better instead of having your upper back feel sore it would probably help. The closest dealer is 45 minutes away without traffic, if there was one closer I would just ride over and sit on a bike.

I'm 5' 10" ish...
My shoulders were tight after riding a short 4 miles to work. I put the 2012s on and I'm much more comfortable. I'd like a little more pull back, but I can't really do that just yet $$$. Thanks to the Neekster, I have the 2012s for a cool $100 or something like that. I'm sure you could get on the Fat Boy Lo thread and find someone equally as cool as the Neekster!
