Just had Burleigh High Ball 14" bars and LED front turning indicators fitted. Man, she rides really nice with these bars fitted, handling/control is greatly improved.

Default HD Beach Bars:

Has anyone fitted the HD Beach bars and, if so, will I need longer cables?

If I do, anyone got the part numbers please?

Nice job dude. Great pics too.

In case you're interested, they sale white zip ties. You can use them to keep your front brake line and throttle cables together. That black zip tie is distracting to the eye when looking at the bars.

Just being picky dude. But it's a cheap move so why not ? Lol

Can understand your feeling, man!
Me and EagleRay have been hearing those "voices" suggesting SE-204 too for days! The problem is that they didn't stop after the choice has been taken, simply started suggesting other mods! Guess is the Harley biker normal status!

As Nostradamus said we had some very detailed discussions on that subject lately. First I was rather aiming at 255s but eventually got convinced that the 204s are the route I'll be going (not this season yet, but next winter's mod).

Reading, viewing, hearing lots of different arguments almost drove me nuts but 'the voices' managed to narrow it down to those.

Thanks. Sorry, I don't know the part numbers. The mods were done by a Custom shop. The High Ball bars are from Burleigh Bars.
