I don't have those particular ones. I'm using the W1 WO550. I love beach bars both for the looks and the improved comfort. Mine sit me up a bit straighter than the stock bars. Getting the wiring inside the bars if you can is a definite improvement.

Mine are at a different angle than yours. If it feels uncomfortable after a while, you may want to try some different positions. They look great!

I have had 36 inch mini beach bars on my fatboy for a couple of years now. I love them, a big improvement over the stock buck horns. my shoulders are bad so apes are not an option for me. I will say, I did have to change the position a couple of times to get the correct seating position.

I don't really dig beach bars myself, but they look sweet on your scoot... The xbones seat is a nice touch too. Shame about the crappy plastic under the seat though, I still haven't seen anything aftermarket to replace or cover that.

Holy Mother of our Lord your bike looks fantastic! Love your paint and the beach bars look great! I went with Wild One Fatty's W504 on my Deluxe. Not really beach bars but close....
