I was running kind of a beach bar. They are really more of a smaller bikini bar than a beach bar but its the same basic concept. Much to my surprise almost NO ONE runs beach bars on Dyna's. I own a set of true 40 inch beach bars and mocked them up. They looked like total a$$ on the bike and totally out of place on a Dyna. The smaller bikini's (32-36") seemed a lot better fit. As far as comfort, most people "I" know run the low bars because regular bars tire them out. Beach bars seemed to be the cure for going numb. At least for me, low wide bars are just the ticket for comfort in the colder weather. I don't need them in the summer so I run taller bars when it warms up and circulation is less of a problem. Also, at least for me all the factory wiring and cables work perfect and without issue.

I'm running bikini beach bars on my 09 fxdc, by far the most comfortable bars I've ever owned. Use to get kinks in neck and upper back, no more. I can ride all day. Had to replace the brake line only.

I got mine from Yamaha. I was working at a Yamaha shop at the time(please no jokes) but burly sells them now and they are the same bend.
