Default Need ideas on new handle bars

I like the beach bars but,I hear they are too wide for lane splitting and uncomforable after long rides. I dont care for apes. I am a tall guy and I lean forward with the stock handle bars. Any other ideas, websites, etc... That I can check out??

thank you

Checkout J&P http://www.jpcycles.com/on their handlebar selection.
Get a estimate on your comfort zone and find the bars that match.

BTW, I'm going the opposite, I'm replacing the stock buckhorn bars to a set that are lower so I can lean forward. Leaning back at 70mph is no fun after a while without awindshield.

I just ordered a set from JP. The stock FXSTS bars have me fighting the carple tunnel in my arm and my fingers keep going numb so I went with a set for an FLSTS that have more pullback and will change my hand position on the grips and hopefully I won't need to change the cables and front brake line. JP has a great selection and they give the measurements for most of them.

John,
The bar I ordered from J&P is like yours, chrome Bad Boy replacement. Went ahead and also ordered SS brake line and clutch cable for a Bad Boy.
