Default Beach Bars for Road King...

Can anyone post pictures of their bike with beach bars? Thinking about going with beach bars and want to see how it looks and get some feedback on comfort on longer rides. Running with stock handlebars currently.

Thanks

Check out some pics of a Road King Custom. They came with beach bars. They made them up to '06, then put a fairing on it and called it a "Street Glide". I think they're larger diameter than the bars on a regular King, so it'll get pricey swapping out for factory bars.

Here's my ol' '06 RKC with Beachbars. Not exactly a good picture to begin with as you get the idea. Very, Very comfortable on long trips, but it really sucks if you're in tight spot by trying to make a left or right turn cuz them handlegrips go out 'somewhat' further than my arms
