Cant help ya as I run mini-apes but if I'm not mistaken the beach bars are really wide in comparison to your stock bars (like 10" or more wider)

Beach bars are 39" wide. IMO, they would look silly on a Sportster.

Ive seen them on sportsters with wide glide front ends and they can look pretty good. I think the wide bars on the narrow front doesnt fit very well. Just my personal opinion.

I was hoping this pic would show up again someday. I love that bike! The beach bars look okay on this one, but I think it would definately depend on what else is goin on with the theme of the bike.

Yep...I think they look good. Something different with the 21" front tire. If I did handlebars again I would consider the beach bars.
