Sweet bars! How do you like riding with them. I have a set for my fatboy and had been wavering between them and apes. Thats until I found out Texas has the 15" law!! So I guess I'm stuck with beach bars...

i had 16" apes and just didn't like the look with the rest of the back..i was going for the old school look and the apes were not so i went with the beach...took it for a quick spin (it's 22 here) - its a very compfortable set up - the turns are going to be different - i'll need to turn more than lean now.

Thanks...ironically, she used to look exactly like yours. Found a primed set of tins on ebay, got them painted, then sold the vivid black set on ebay in less than 24 hours.

Here's a full pic before the beach bars..

Good choice.
My 2005 SE Fat Boy came with narrow beach bars. They fit me perfect. Very comfortable.
