I am looking for diferent bars for my Heritage and like the look of the fatboy 1 1/4" bars. I have heard the 2012s are different. Anyone have any pics or opinions on this? I am 6' tall and want a comfortable but lower bar. Also if anyone has a set for sale...
My wife could not use the standard Heritage bars. She would get pain in her shoulders. Switch to the Older Fatboy bars and no more pain. Loves the look and ride.
My local Harley dealer has a Deluxe set up with quick change handlebars so you can try out several different bars. I'm after a lower set myself, but am leaning towards bikini bars.
Nelly, my bars are the equivalent of your wife's, but without the 4" pullback risers (so the bars are a bit taller).
I have Burly 1 1/4" Beach Bars 39 1/2" wide on my Fatboy. I'm 6' 1" and 220 and they work for me. Bikini bars are 36" wide. Mine are like sittin' in a "bark-a-lounger".
I have the 2012 Fat Boy and I love the bars. I haven't used any other ones because I am a new rider but my sig pic should show you what they look like. I'm 5'10" and bike is stock setup. fits me well.

The 2010 bars on my FatBoy were killing my shoulders and lower back. A set of 4" pullback risers with the stock bars set them up perfectly for me. Both big Apes and low beach bars bother my left shoulder. This set up puts the bars at a medium height and pulled back just enough so I don't have to stretch any more.
