Windshields and Beach Bars... Do they Mix?
So I've been tossing the idea around in my head of adding a windshield (oddly enough they have grown on me, I used to hate them.) However I have burly beach bars on the bike and I'm starting to second guess myself if it would even look right on the bike, and i definitely do not want to waste money on a windshield to only find out that i hate the way it looks. So with that said if you or anyone has pictures of a windshield mounted with beach bars please post them on this thread!
Also post your comments trust me i don't care either way if you talk me into or talk me out of the idea, i just want feedback!

I have the HD wide beach bars on my Springer and run a King Size HD windshield. I think the combination looks good enough. It looks traditional so I get used to it. I don't run the shield much these days because I really don't care for it 100% in looks but do love what it does for me in comfort if I decide I need it.
I have to disagree that a windshield looks better with apes! But I guess that's just because of my personal thoughts on the two different styles of bars and the attitudes they give to the bike. I think it's odd to see someone tooling down the road with 16 or even 18 inch apes but with a big *** windshield too. It's like the "fist in the wind look" of apes with the "I need a shield to block the wind" look.
Here's mine with wide beach bars and shield. Of course I don't have my bars slung way down like yours.
Here's what it looked like with the stock mini apes before I ditched them.
I like the look better with the beach bars.
But again, to be honest I hardly run it anymore despite how much I like the comfort it adds to my ride. Just like the look of my bike without it all together.

I have Burly Beach bars and a Klockwerks Billboard Flare windshield. I think the shape of the windshield goes well with the bike. The pics aren't the best to show things off but it'll give you an idea. Boy I sure had to muddled my way through that. You'll have to excuse the way the pics and wording is in here, things have changed here and I don't do change well.

Also, king size removable windshield looks fine with BBB. At least it does on my bike.
Ride safe.
