Can anyone ID the handlebars on this Crossbones

Similar to beach bars with more fluid curves. Might be Road King, can't tell?

Scott,

Try Bielefeld H-D in Germany for more info.

My German is not much good, but I believe they are "V-TEAM Apehanger Lenker" bars.

Honestly they just look like narrow beach bars and they are certainly not ape hangers. H-D makes a black narrow beach bar for the Crossbones. However, the one in the pick may or may not be the H-D bar because from what I can tell, the bars in the pic you posted look to be internally wired and the H-D narrow beach bars are not set up for that from the factory. So the possibilities are that they are H-D narrow beach bars which have been drilled for internal wiring by the bike builder or they are similar style beach bars from another manufacturer that are pre-drilled to be wired internally. Either way, it is a look that and style of bar that can easily be had. The H-D ones run only $69 bucks I think. The catch is that if you have a stock Bones, the wires and cables are a bit longer than you need for this style of bar. On the plus side, many people I know have gone to the H-D narrow beach bars and used all their stock wires and cables and although they have more slack than they need, I guess they seem to be happy with the result.

Definitely not the HD bars for the Bones...just picked up a set. Those are some sweet a$$ bars. In the middle of doing the mods on my Bones wish you guys would quit posting pics and giving me ideas...

V-Team is a German company that makes custom stuff for Harleys ...

Guess it will not be cheap after shipping/import duty.

Here is the link to the handle bar (Lenker) part of their website. They do have some beach bars on there.
