Handlebar Question

I just boughta '05 Road King Custom through a dealer and I know it has beach bars on it...which I love...very comfortable...but they don't look like the stock bars that should have come on the bike...they look a likeWild 1 Chubby Beach Bars but I can't tell...there are other manufacturers of beach bars...are there manufacturer IDmarks on bars?? If so...where?

Thanks!

There are other manufacturers of beach bars, but I have never seen any markings other than the labels that are usually attached to where the grips cover. Hope this helps.

They might be the HD 1 1/4 inch beach bars that I actually have on my bike. Here is the link.

Wild 1 bars are laser etched under the throttle side.

I think we have a "winner"! Thanks for identifying the bars...

RE: Handlebar Question

Inforit,
I get my King near the end of next month and I was liking the look of the H-D Beach Bars and seriously thinking of having the dealer put them on the bike when it shows up from MOCO. Did you start with the stock bars on your RK and after riding for awhile switch to the beach bars? What's your impression or comparison of the beach bars vs. the stock bars?
Thanks for your thoughts.

RE: Handlebar Question

I am not sure how to tell who made them, but I can almost guarantee that they are not the original bars. I have a rk custom, and mine definitely did not have those batrs...
