WTB beach bars?

The wife has a 1200 custom, it's got pullback risers and drag bars. She strugges to reach the grips. I'm thinking higher bars pulled back will give a bad wrist angle. So now I'm wondering if a mild set of beach bars would work for her.
Judging from the ads they boast of width, I don't want to go so wide she can't turn.
anybody have experience with beach bars?

I forgot to mention the speedometer is clustered in the risers.

I used beach bars on my low with pull back risers and it was very comfortable to me. I wanted my hands closer to me since I sit up straight and lean against my backrest. No issues turning and did not hit the tank.

Here is a pic without my fairing so you can see it. For these, I did replace my cables with stainless steel.

I also used another set of beach bars that was not so pulled back with stock risers but I still needed to lean forward...and I still could retain the stock cables.

Check out this thread for better pics of both post #755....https://www.hdforums.com/forum/sport...l#post15858999
