    This has probably been done to death but as I am not familiar with the softail section I cant find what I am looking for.

    Stock Bars on the 2012, Parts book suggests Part #55800058, this is listed as having a width of 32" and pullback of 7"

    Strangely this is the same pull back as on the 2012 fatbob drag style bars.

    I just can't get in my head they are the same pull back.

    I have the 2012 fatbob and find it a reach to the bars and had convinced myself the fatboy bars would be the answer for me.

     

    Any suggestions on if I have the part # correct or not and what the actual measurements of the stock bars are?

    cheers

     Why not try curved risers to bring the stock bars back towards you a bit?

    looking at that also but I really like the look and hand angle of the fatboy bars. To me it would give a more sit back and cruise feel.
    Just cant figure out if they will make the difference I want.

    Well here it is all done. Only had a quick blast around the block but that feel pretty much how I wanted them to.
