Default Narrow beach bars

Im having Harley narrow beach bars installed on my Deluxe.I wanted a more custom look But wanted to keep the nostalgic look.Do you guys think that was the way to go? and those of you that have those bars do you like them? I just thought with them being thicker and chrome (Not stainless like the stock bars) they would look much better especially with the wires run inside them and new chrome braided cables

Narrow beach bars come stock on the 2005 SE Fat Boy. They seem to fit me perfect.

I replaced the mini apes with the narrow beach bar on my Xbones. Personally I find them much more comfortable than the apes, also feel more in control of the bike on bad road surfaces.

I think on 07 and up you might be able to because the narrow beach bars are 1"1/4 and 07 and up come with 1"1/4 risers.
