Default Beach bars on my Deluxe
They aren't all finished, have to get new cables and the likes. These are Burly Bikini Beach bars. I wanted to keep the factory risers, my leather bag and speaker barckets are bolted to them. Most bikes have lower risers and it looks great, but I think I can live with the looks of the four inch risers. The bars have a good feel to them.

Looking good.
I didnt like the original 4" rise and 1" back......was too cramped for me and went with 1" straight no pullback.
If you like it and it feels good.......go with it.

Whats going on with your exhaust? Are you adding some longer fishtail mufflers?

Handle bars look nice and comfortable.

Those look great. I like the 4 inch risers. Make your bars slant in same contours as your tank, gives it a cool, old-school, symmetrical look.

Those look quite comfortable, keep us posted on how they drive, I've been thinking about doing that at some point.
