Fatboy bars question..opinions needed..
Have an 09 fatboy with stock bars, Im having some issues with having to short arm the bars and bending my elbows more than I like.. Also my hands are turned out too much..
Like to get a set of bars about 3" higher and not as much pullback.. I want to be more leaned back and arm's straighter..
Any suggestions? Street slammers??

Before I bought street spammers I adjusted the bar angle on my 07. Turned them down a good bit. Felt better on the wrist and shoulders. Bought street slammers and have been very pleased ever since. Just did a 800 mile weekend from the Baltimore area to Cooperstown last weekend. Shoulders feel great, every once in a while my throttle hand would tingle, but I would just throttle lock it for a second and shake it out, and keep on truckin. Slammers definitely did the trick for me. I'm 6'3"

Your newer style Heritage bars, do you have a brand or part number? I would be interested in seeing the pics. Sounds what I'm looking to do.

I put 1.25" Carlini Street Bars on my Fat Boy. Love the feel; lots of choices out there.

I'd suggest the ones I went with (pic below). Most comfortable bars I've used.
