I guess I'm looking for some feedback from the riders that have spent a lot of time in the saddle and might know the difference in some handlebars. I have an 06 Deluxe with the stock bars and I cant figure out if I want to go with some medium sized apes or some beach bars. I would appreciate everyones opinion. I'm interested in looks and comfort. Thanks guys.

 

I changed mine out for some Chubby 504s. If I do it again, I'm thinking beach bars or something to pull back a little more...

 

I've never been on a bike with apes but I know people love them. I have the HD beach bars and couldn't be more comfortable. I'm tall though, 6'-4". I'm gonna look for a different set of beach bars that don't pull back as far which might even be better for me. You won't regret beach bars for sure.

 

On my Road King, I had the SE fat road king bars. They had a lower hand position. I would get that sharp pain between my shoulders on long rides. On my crossbones, with the stock mini-apes, I recently rode 400 miles to St Augustine, rode around down there a few days and came back the 400 miles with no pains induced by the bars.

 

I have put a bunch of miles on bikes with mini-apes (Cross Bones), Beach Bars (Fat Boy), and Drag Bars (Low Rider) all with no issues.....
As far a looks... that's more personal...
I have a buddy that has Beach Bars on his Deluxe and IMO they fit the bike perfectly....
He has it set up as a low-down cruiser with lots of shiny stuff...
