Beach Bars
Anyone have Beach bars on their bike? Preferably on a Road King. If so, how do you like them? Any complaints? Have you done a long trip with them? How tall are you?

RE: Beach Bars
I've got 36" Buffalo Beach Bars.... Love them. I liked the lower bars. These have 4" rise, 7" pull back. The bars are much wider and more forward than stock. They look and feel more hot-rod... I'm 6'1" and they work great for me. I'll try to post a picture below.

RE: Beach Bars
Keep in mind that going wider than stock will also move you forward, opening up your chest. Try to keep your knucked in some sort of forward position (like the stock bars). If you get bars that pull straight back (like the RK Custom) it feels like your ridinga wheelbarrow and not comprtable IMO. Try wild one! http://www.wild1inc.com/handlebars.html Many options and a stat page. I beleive the stock RK are 7" rise, 9" pullback, 32" wide. Or very close to that. Good luck.

My husband is 6'4" and has broad shoulders. He rides a Road King Custom, and removed the Pullback Beach bars (which come stock), and put the regular Harley Beach bars on the bike. Because of his size, he says the bars are really comfortable. They also look really cool, so that's always a bonus!!
