Default Beach bars on a Street Glide Special

Has anyone out there put beach bars on a Street Glide? I had some on my old 2008 Fat Bob and they were really comfortable for me. Everyone I see out there seems to be going the other way with Apes on their touring bikes. Not my style and not comfortable for me. Please advise on what brand you used and what size was the pullback. Post pictures if you have one please.

Thanks,
I appreciate it.

Never seen beach bars on any HD touring bike w/fairing and (IMO) it wouldn't look right. Those are meant more for Kings, Softails, etc...

When I bought my Road King they were on it. Got rid of them as soon as I could get my hands on "anything" else.

What I don't like about beach bars is low speed handling. Low speed turns from a dead stop are what I have the most issue with.

Considering beach bars because of shoulder/elbow issues. I have Hollywood bars on other bike and like how the feel/ride. Yes slow speed turns is different ...gotta adjust the legs. Thinking the lower ride height of bars may make the weight of fairing more manageable.
