Theres one done with aftermarket beach bars in the gallery. Cant remember the name. I'll see if I can find it. Looks great. Mines on order, will be here in Feb they tell me. Harley offer narrow black beach bars as an option for the xbones according to the parts catalogue, by the look of the requirements the standard setup should go straight onto the new bars. Check the HD parts and accessories for xbones online.

They're selling one with the black beach bars at a local dealer here in DFW. Looks pretty good.
