Default Changing RK Custom Bars

I'm thinking about changing out my beach bars to a more RK Classic style. Has anyone changed their RK Custom bars? Any thoughts?

I think your bike is HOT.....it would look good with a set of street slammers. Also, look in my sig pic, those are the SE fat road king bars......i think i am going to get rid of my passing lamps.....and now I really want that clean front fender

Actually I changed out my Road King Classic bars for 16" apes. The Classic bars were killing my back.

I just changed mine yesterday to the standard road glide bars and they look and feel great.I had the big beach bar handle bars then i went to the smaller size beach bars which were ok but the position of my wriste on the grips made my hands get tired so now i have the road glide bars and they feel really nice.
