    Looking at the Burleigh Black RollerBars for my FATBOB.  Has anyone else with a FATBOB changed over their bars?  Looking for bars that will reduce the stretch for a more relaxed riding position????

    I'll keep an eye on this thread to see how you go, Was keen on going to apies for the same reason. Good luck with the conversion.
    Post some pics and details if you get it done.

    How long are the stock Brake, clutch and idle cable on a FatBob?

    Sly-1, were the standard cables long enough?

    HD have just released some curved pull back risers suitable for Fatbob, only issue is they are chrome unlike the original blacks

    Has anyone actually fitted the 4inch curved riser or can anyone tell me what the end result is, i.e how far back and how much higher would the hands be. I am 5 10 and the stock setup suits fine but after riding a while i get some lower back pain (from an old injury) which i think may be from the leaning angle and may be help by sittng slighlty more upright, I love the drag bar look and dont really want to move away from that

    Further to the previous post  my 2009 already has stock 4 inch rise now i have had a chance to get home and see it so  my question is  how much difference the 6 inch rise would make to the hand position

    Cheers

    Bob, I put 1 3/4 rollerbars on my Fat Bob they were great, much more control and the cables are long enough.

    Let me know if you change them I'm chasing secondhand Fat Bob bars for my Nightster.
