Default Apes or Beach Bars?
Take a look, I "kinda" like the B/Bs. What do you guys think.

It's gotta be the beach bars! I'm putting them on my FLSTS later this summer and that picture has me chomping at the bit to get it done.

Beachers Coyote. I'm actually starting to really like mine. I have em' rotated down low in boardtrack racer position and I'm gonna miss em' when I swap out for mini-apes. They are comfy and just feel right.

If it wasnt for the ugly *** built in risers I wouldnt swap em. Beachers rock. They just rock harder on your bike then on mine?

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!!

The Beach Bars fit the looks of your bike better.
