Was thinking of changing my bars to the Beach Bars, did some research and found out I have the Narrow Beach Bars stock.
Different PN#, but same specs.
Oh well Maybe Wide Beach Bars?

I'm 6ft and the apes were good in that I didn't reach for them, but on the highway where I spend almost all of my time, the wind tries to push me off at anything over 70mph. It become very uncomfortable. the lower bars keep me planted and at 80 there was little wind resistance felt. At 70 it was non existent! I will never go back!

WOW, neat install! And bike looks 10 times better (but I'm prejudiced)
Check to make sure your clutch cable doesn't rub against the handle bar or risers, before I changed to the shorter (right length) cables, the clutch cable almost rubbed through the powder coating . A bit of tape prevents that.
Same goes for the brake line, rubbed coating of the underside where it goes under the fork.

Oh, and you're right. It looks at LEAST 10x better I think. I felt cooler with the apes, but this is SO much more comfortable, and sitting there looking at it, it looks better. Win win no matter how I look at it.
