Default I have these bars....

that I recently put on my scoot and they didn't give me the look I was after. They are Fat Boy 08 Anniversery 1-1/4" bars for internal wiring and are very comfortable. The risers are higher than I expected, maybe 3". I really wanted some mini beach bars.
My question is do you think there would be any interest in these? I would like to offer them to my friends here before putting them on ebay.
Here's a couple of pics.

DO you happen to have height/width/rise measurements and how much do you want?

I saw them on an 08 that last time I was in the states ad thought they would look good on my Heritage.

I believe these are the numbers you want.

According to the Harley web site from '01 to present:

Tip to Tip: 31.5" Base Width: 13.5" Rise: 5.5" Pull Back: 9" Knurl Center to Center: 3.50"

Those look like they have a wide-buckhorn flavor to them. Not bad looking but I understand what you are saying about wanting something more like mini beach bars.

Merry Christmas Griz. This bike is like a canvas of a painting that is never finished.
I really like the hub cap off as well.

Beautiful machine! I am buying an '08 Deluxe at the end of January...first Harley, and first motorcycle owned in 40 years. I love the look of the Deluxe, but will have H-D mini-apes as I don't like the stock bars. I am also less than thrilled with the seat...but love the color/shape of yours. What manufacturer? Custom made? I know, you're probably asking me why buy the Deluxe if I don't like bars/seat...I love the look of the bike itself, and know that seats/bars are changeable...and truth be told, the seat on your machine is one of the coolest I have seen on these pages!

Thanks and I don’t blame you, I also love the look of the Deluxe. I am happy with the Heritage because It is better for doubling when my wife wants to ride and it has bags which I have the quick detach feature on. It's a snap to go from this:


when we travel, to the configuration in my signature.
I bought another stock seat and had it re-covered in the brown and alligator by a local guy who is very good and just switch them out as I want.
If you think you might want to take your "signifigant other" riding, you might reconsider the Heritage. It's basicall the same bike as a Deluxe.
Good luckMarsh
