Default Want Bar Change-pics & Info for Beach bars on Springer Custom

I'm trying to decide what bars to change to on my scoot.
I don't like the stock buckhorn bars at all, think they are ugly and don't do justice
to the design of this bike even though the are comfortable.
looking here.....

Heres a pic...


I'm considering some smaller beach bars that pull back 11-14" and
are around 36" wide.

Anyone have/ride these bars on a narrow wheel springer??

I see a lot of the big beach bars on the Heritage Springers and they look great!

Alternatively I was considering these....

I just want bars that are really comfortable for the long rides I plan this summer.
I'm just not sure how comfortable the drag bars are on a long haul ride even though
they look AWESOME on SPRINGERS!!

Thanks!

2002, my scoot is not a Springer but this should give an idea. These are HD short Beach bars and measure 35" wide. Very comfortable.

Nice looking bike you have there Marsh!
I REALLY like the seat and console leather, sweeet!
Those bars look really good on heritage and classic bikes like yours.
Ijust hope they don't ruin the 'narrow tire' look on my bike and I
sure don't see too many with beaches on bikes like mine.
THANKS!

I can not picture beach bars on an FX springer..An FL, they look great.

IMHO. drags or mini apes would look the best...

Yea I noticed your bike earler '96 and I really like the look. Great to see a clean
bike in true red. The drags look great on your bike I just wonder if I installed
aa set on mine if I'd be comfortable riding all the way to Sturgis or Daytona or
Milwaukee that's all.
How does yours do on a 8-10 hour ride 96??
I only ask since I'm not a spring chicken anymore LOL! I mean I still surf snowboard
mountainbike and stuff but I just pay the price a little harder and longer afterward
than I used to when I was 32!!

I think Beach Bars would look good on your Springer. You might want to consider a solo seat to complete the look.
