You look for the 'narrow' beach bars, most guy on here have those ones, or the traditional beach bars. Difference is the traditionals have a width of 35.5" while the narrows have a width of 30.7"

Just look at the Springer Classic. With your front fender change and now beach bars sounds to me like you are gradually changing the bones into a classic.

Thanks guys.
I'm doing a set on my Train this week Coyote....

I looked around and although I wanted the narrows for the look the wides are a bit more comfortable.

I ended up with a wierd set of Custom Chrome catalog discontinued beach bars with integrated risers that are 35" wide with a 2.5 riser and 10" of back sweep.


If they dont work out I'm gonna put them on Craigslist and go with that narrow bar.....

I'm heading up to LaBriola machine in Denver this week to come up with a plan for my shifter with the owner. The owner makes every shifter hisself without a helper and is like 6 weeks behind!

I'm thinking I want a tank shift kinda like what you have instead of the Jockey. Have the guy do me one up in raw metal and get it PC-ed wrinkle black. That being said the wide bars and the tank shift would probably work well together IMO.....

I know the guy is 6 weeks behind, he said it would be 2 weeks, which turned into 8 weeks.

Right on with the tank shift and wide bars.

I cant wait. Been riding without taking my left foot off the pegs for the last few days.

LaBriola guy is buried. I'm gonna try and pull the "I'm a local card" and see if I cant get him going on mine a lil' quicker!!

Sounds good eh?
