Default Handle Bar and Rack Qs

Hey you guys,
been reading tons of great info in here.. I am a recent owner of 2011 Cool Blue Deluxe. Finally realizing a 10 years old dream and enjoying every second of it.

I was looking to replace the stock rack with this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TM:MOTORS:1123

I am not sure if meassurement wise it would fit. Appreciate anyones help on this.


Handle Bars,
I want to swich to beach bars but can't tell the difference between bikini bars or normal beach bars. Anyone care to explain?

I wanted to install the beach bars from HD but it seems thier bars do not fit the 2011 due to the ABS cables that are not available. Would the Burley ones fit? how to tell whats the right size? I am see everyone is getting the 1.25" with 1.5" risers and everyone is happy about it.


Very much apreciate your help here..

Yamen

Just to keep all Qs in same thread..
I am looking to install the Burly beach bars on my deluxe and keep the stock risers. I just can't seem to figure the propper cables length for that. I also need ABS cables if I am not mistaken.

Any idea guys?
