I think that they would be to wide to allow you to lock the forks. Make it harder to manuever in a parking lot.

I am curious about this too. I have seen pictures in magazines with RG having beach bars. I don't think they look bad. Looking to see if anyone has installed and what brand of bar they used.

Thanks,

Denis

Here's a picture of my project Roadglide with Whitebros burly beach bars on it. These bars have a 4 1/2'' rise on them and have no clearance issues with the fairing. I have full turning radius of forks. As far as bikini bars go, which usaully have less rise than the beach bars, you might have fairing clearance issues.
