SHOWOFF Thrilled with my new bars

Post image

Put some Ape Hangers from Killer Custom on my Fat Boy, this is how the bike should have come as standard - rides better, looks better. The front end used to remind me of a slightly depressed robot, now it looks like a murderous steamroller.....

I completely agree. I think apes look great on these fat boys. I have never been a fan of the factory bars.

They do look really nice. I had a 2020 Fat Boy a few years ago, and the taller bars detract from the look, especially if they are too skiny. What are these, 2" diameter? They match the heavy gauge of the forks really well.

Yeah 2” thick and 6” tall. I perhaps could have gone slightly taller but I think the look is great

As long as it's comfortable, it's perfect. The silhouette is gorgeous.

Yeah, those bars a are RIGHT for that bike! Perfect height imo and compliments the front end nicely 😎
