I pulled the trigger on a ride wright 21 3.5 with a vee rubber 120 70 21 whitewall. I had called ride wright yesterday to make sure my dealer friend would order the correct wheel for my 05 deluxe. I do not know who i was talking to but we started talking about 21 inch tires. I mentioned the vee rubber and asked if they were any better his response was that they were very good now he said he had about forty in his last batch and only one bad one. I had my dealer friend order me a ride wright 21 3.5 chrome 50 spoke fat daddy with a 120 70 21 vee rubber white wall with a tube it will arrive balanced and ready to install. it will be at least a three week wait if not longer they are out of the v rubber tires right now. they are now getting $300.00 for the v rubber tire. complete wheel tube tire balance and shipping cost me $1035.00 to my door. not sure how good a price this is but its done all i have to do is wait now. in reality riding season here on the east coast is at least that far away and the fact that i can still ride while I am waiting makes it an easy wait. I will probably have to change my bars now to complete the look i want but it will defenetly not be apes any suggestions that you thing will compliment my look lEt me know i will Explor them and make a decision i will want to keep the necelle cover that i have installed now

Thanks T i have been fighting this for over a year now and i finally caved in.I really did not want to go with the stretched tire. I am going 21 3.5 with a vee rubber tire. The guy i talked to at Ride wright said they were coming in looking good. That was the deciding factor. Now its the waiting game probably about a month if I am lucky. Nice thing is it will be ready to install all mounted and balanced .

IMO... BurlyBrand 38.5"ers and CycleSmith's 40"ers have the best bends in beachbars. Other brands like HD's are to flat and look kinda funky.. Here's an old pic when i had the BurlyBrand beachbars on my bike. Notice how they have a little kickdown on the bar lines....

Nikonf8,
Have you contacted these guy's http://www.brcustomcycles.com/
If I wasn't 100% satisfied with my Carlini's, I probably go with their product. Pricey, but high quality and certainly unique designs.
My opinion on beach bars: I concur with BLKnCHRME09Deluxe - I find them uncomfortable and awkward to maneuver (that wheel barrow grip).
