To see out if you like them, find a bike with them and ride it. It could be costly to install them and determine you want to return to your old bars. With beach bars, you will more than likely need to extend the wires and get longer cables.

I was wondering exactly which beach bars these are? Are they the Burly Bikini Beach bars? I’m looking for beach bars with the lowest rise possible that are virtually straight across…something like the following. I currently have Burly Longhorns, but the have way too much rise/flow. Thanks.

OK. I wasn't expecting a 2014 post of mine to be quoted. My bars are the Harley beach handlebars. I am still using them and still like them.

You may also want to look at Wild 1 bars.

These aren't true beach bars but a slightly modified version from Ultima. They have enough rise in them to keep my arms that couple of inches higher than standard beach bars. All day comfort for me and the wife.

Bone Doc, Very cooling looking with the bars!!!!!! Only downside is splitting lanes through traffic.

Thanks, Tom. I agree, it would make lane splitting a precarious move.
