Beach Bars Install
Did all work myself, It was ok with the manual. I change the throttle cables, the clutch cable, the brake lines, the switches, and the grips. And for someone 6' 1" they are very comfy. Put about 125 miles with them and they handle great.

LOL, what doesn't
Bike looks great with those bars. I wanted to change mine so bad when I first got the bike, but they have grown on me. Did a couple 500+ mile days with no problems.........except getting thirsty

RE: Beach Bars Install
I appreciate you guys opinion, (Bruce00) and Fatboy767),
I got the bars from HD, I like them, they measure about 34" end of grip to grip. They are the smaller ones.

RE: Beach Bars Install
Looks great!!! I've loved the Beach Bar look on the RK since the first time I saw them. I'm still debating whether or not I'm going to tackle the install myself. How long did the install take you? Any unexpected setbacks or complications?

Bike looks great. I did put the bars on mine last year. I have the HD once too but slightly wider 36". It took me about 5 hours to put the bars on with the rewiring through the bars and changing the brake lines.
