    Hey all,

    So I am thinking on getting a set of 2 inch Burleigh Roller 7 6 inch rise bars for my Fatty.  Does anyone have these on a fatboy, or pics.  I would love to see what the look like mounted before paying a cool grand for a set.  Also, how's the riding position?

    Mongrel, These are 1 1/2 roller bars with an 8 inch rise. Might give you an idea of where they will sit above the speedo etc on the fatty. I might have a couple of pics of them front on if you want.

    I was talked out of the 2inch. I have seen them on a fatboy since and they match the fat front forks very well. Pissed I didn't stick to my guns.

    Cheers. Bucky

    Thanks man... if you can show the front that would be cool.

    Do they fit the stock cable length?

    Sorry mate, I'm uncertain about the cable length as I changed to braided when they went on and I can't remember the length.

    Here's the front. As I said they look a bit skinny when you compare to the 2 inch. I think the 2 inch has a much better look.

    Cheers. Bucky

    Gidday ... just chucking in the what if argument but have you had a look at the bars from Gworks out of Victoria ... about half the price of Burlieghs ... may not be a high enough riser for you but i am pretty sure they can make bars to suit .

    Only thing with mine and correct me if i am wrong i think Burlieghs are the same and that is the risers are not adjustable so you need to be sure of the riding postion .

    I had on the wide westerns before these but these are by far the most comfortable ... the third pic is with the old bars on not a great angle but more so i can show how it still has the wide bar look but feels a lot better .

    Another bonus is the Gworks Bars come in under the 900 mil width Australian legal limit ... anyhow just putting it out there ... Burliegh are nice but bloody expensive .

    Bugger - The mob in Vic don't do 2 inch. Looks like Burliegh. Just not sure on the rise? 6 or 8 inch??

    So looks like I am going to order the 2 inch rollers from Burleigh.

    Just one question though... How does the Stainless look? I know the harley stainless bars stand out against the chrome, and they look shit.

    How are the Burleighs?

    Burleigh are that same, they look yellow after a few months

    Ahhh Shit! Really!! Argh!!

    That's what I didn't like about the stock bars - they weren't chrome, and when you have a stack of other chrome mounted to the bar, it shows.

    Any good alternatives Walka? I want 2 inch bars dude.

    That's crap I have had 4 sets of Burleigh Still have 3 and the two that are stainless show no yellow what's so ever and if I was every buy bars in future all I would buy is Burleigh
    Again there pricey but worth it in my opinion

    Righto Lads,

    So the Stainless looks as good as the chrome it's next to?

    Burleighs are polished grade 304 stainless. I haven't noticed any yellowing on mine, and would easily buy another set from them. Great bunch of guys on the GC!!

    Maybe they have lifted there game, I ve got a couple of mates that bought them when the first started making them in Stainless Steel and they both have a Yellow look about them
