Default burly bikini bars installed on the Heritage!

Hey guys,
Just got the Burly Bikini 1.25” Beach Bars installed on my 05 Heritage. Here are some pictures as promised.

Pretty easy install. I used the stock clutch and throttle cables, Novello 4” wire extensions, and a 50” brake line (which was a tad long, should have been closer to 48”). It’s possible that I could have used the stock wiring if I didn’t route them internally, but it would have been tight.


For some reason, I can't upload pictures to this site, so here is a link to Flickr:

Looks great. Did you try dropping them a bit ? I have mine as low as I can get them without hitting the tank on full turn. They are so comfortable.
