IMO...the #1 major factor in picking beachbars is the lines of the bars. They gotta have nice bends. The wider the better. I am very happy with my BurlyBrand 38.5"...but...If i were to do it all over again i would have went with CycleSmiths 40".

You may also factor in what type of bike your putting them on. With your FatLo im thinken 14" BurlyBrand apes 39" wide.

Will I be able to do this without changing out my Stainless clutch, brake, and throttle cables and extending the control wiring?

I extended my wiring a few inches for the 504's just to be on the safe side. I used the same stock length cables for the Stainless mod.

i had to run +2" stocks would be too short.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm proud of the results. I my bars are Burly 35 1/4" beach bars with the 1 1/4" thick tube. I'm 6'2", so I couldn't aford to get the wider bars due to my long legs. When I got the new bars, I also changed out my cables and got the Magnum Chromite II's. I do believe that they had to be longer than stock length when they were ordered.

Anyone interested in buying my Magnum Chromites (clutch,brake, and throttle)? They are stock length since I didn;t need extra for the Chubby 504's I put on.

If I want to do the beach bars, I would wnt to sell what I have first...
