Unhappy Beach Bars for my Deluxe!

Hi, I'm out to purchase some beach bars for my Deluxe. I've got my eye on some from Harley (56364-02)Not the HD Narrow type, HD standard. Problem being it states for a FLSTC, no mention of a FLSTN? I can't understand why they wouldn't fit a Deluxe? Anyone out there know for sure or have infact already fitted some? Also would I be able to still use all the standard cables? There not excessive in the beach bar style so not much wider (which is what I'm after) Regards Chap!

They should fit, but you might need different risers without so much pullback, otherwise you might find your controls back towards your hips.

As far as cables, with shorter risers it might be close. The narrow bars with shorter risers shouldn't be a problem, but the wide 36" ones might be. Hopefully someone who has done it will chime in for you.

saltydawg,

Did you go with the Knuckle bars and stock risers? If so do the stock cables and wires work?

The HD beach bars I'm looking at (56364-02) is in a kit, which includes new shorter risers as the bars are up in size diameter, totally agree the beach bars wouldn't look right with the extra pullback. Well from what i've read here this kit seems ok to purchase & cables shouldn't be a problem. Many Thanks All.

Since it's raining and expected to rain for days, I'm putting my Beach Bars on the Bones today. If I don't like them they will be on E-bay.
