I tried Beach Bars, they were too wide for me and turned the wrists at too much of an angle, also tried Bikini Beach Bars (Carlini ?) a little narrower but still too much wrist angle. I eneded up with Wild Ones 504 on my bike, really like them, comfortable and still wide with some pull back.

While I don't have them on a Softail, I like them. I find them comfortable. I have ridden 62k miles on mine.

I really like my beachbars. They are wide but I got used to the after a few hundred miles. I will require more arm muscle when you're manuvering at 0-5 mph but if you use counter-steering method of riding, beachbars are far more responsive than any other bars I've ridden.

I had beach bars on my Road King Classic & loved them. With the windshield off it gave the bike a great look. The only complaint I have with them is I love the HD heated hand grips. (they are the shizznit) The wires for the heated grips were not long enough. I had to splice in extra wire to accomodate the length of the bars. I went with the fattys. Good luck with your decision!

You wouldn't happen to have some pictures of your bike with the 504's on it would you? I'm torn between beach bars, 504's or 508's.
Thanks
