As far as BB's go, I'm really liking the look of the Burly's. Here are two pictures of my RKC: The first with 1" BB's (not sure if they're HD's or what brand)...they eventually came off and were replaced with a set 1 1/4" W1' 518's. Though I like the W1's they are somewhat of a BB hybrid...if you're looking for a cruiser look I think the Burly's may be what you want.

I run them low but Ive seen them a few different ways.

If you want something wider and longer look at the longhorns

can you turn your wheel all the way to the left and right without hitting your tank?

that's so strange cause your bar looks a lot lower then mines and my handle bar is just right above the tank when my wheel is turned all the way. maybe it's just different between a springer front end and the deluxe?

Hey there Motown, do you remember the length of your new cables? Ive heard several different stories on that, it seems that the clutch cable can be stock length but the right side cables need to be either +2 or +4...whats your thoughts?

I installed the HD Beach Bars on my Lo.
The bike handles great, no issues when turning. Even at higher speeds I do not notice any negative effects.
