Fat Boy Al, looks real good. I like the wheels and sprocket. I also like a fine burgandy at room temp.

Very nice. If you have a minute....talk about those handlebars. I'm looking for some for my Fat Boy, cause I need some rise and some pullback.
Thanks,
Lubey

Bars and saddle...

The bars are Wild One 518's. I looked long and hard before going with them. I was looking for several things (pullback, rise and wrist angle) and the 518's were the best compromise for all. I like to sit back in the seat and relax and they offer that.
The seat is a Corbin Dual Touring (and I have both backrests) and I love it - mostly. Still get some butt burn on longer rides and in particular when I don't have the backrest adjusted correctly.
I would've liked to try a Danny Gray single touring, since my daughter doesn't like to ride anymore. I don't like their dual, but the single seems to be more comfortable.
The one mistake I made was the brake lever - I went with the "girder" one for Softtails and it's too short.
