Hands down the most comfortable set of bars I have ridden with on any bike.

Toss the mini apes and head back out to the Beach!!
Another + for beach bars, i put them on all my bikes, only negative is if turned down(which in imoh is were they look the best) knees get in the way when slow turning. Your train looks wicked mate, in that pic.

"NOPE" I like the positon of my hands on the stock bars on my Heritage, there comfortable, and non tiring.

I don't like the feel or looks of the FB or RK stock bars. To me they are to low and wide and dont handle as good either..

IMO the Beach Bars on your bike look great....they flow with your bike....

that being said...I think Apes would look good also... just not quite as old school...
