I am considering replacing my bars (see pic below) with a set of Beach Bars. I think the slight vibration I am getting (that I didn't have with the stock bars) is due to the one piece construction and integral risers on my current bars. I would appreciate any pics of Fatboys with Beach Bars and/or comments about how well (or not) people like them.


Thanks,

Shakey

 

these are not the best pics, but they are HD mini beachbars, 36 inch. I really like them verses the stock buckhorns. they are more comfortable and a much easier ride at longer distances.
I don't get any vibration, I notice, through the bars. before I installed them I had a small issue with holding the clutch and turning sharp right, I have short arms i guess. anyway, I don't have that issue anymore with the beach bars.

 

There are different styles of beach bars. I took the stock ones off my RKC I just didn't like them!

 

Check out Dingers bike, and Truckbizz's as well. They both have nice beach style bars. These are both Heritage's but are almost exactly the same as a fatboy.
Here are links.

The Fat Boy SE models come with the 1 1/4" beach bars, with internal wires.

I've heard that they are difficult at low speeds like in a parking lot? I dunno. I have some on the softail project I am building. I like the look and so far, they feel great in the living room....

 

some beach bars are not any more safer than apes. i have watched riders impale themselves in tight parking lot turns. if you have to let go of a grip to turn in a parking lot the bars are unsafe (and illegal).

 

Beach Bars seem pretty comfortable and easy to maneuver as far my riding goes. I don't understand how you would get impaled on them or having to let go of a grip , because of a tight turn. I am having a hard time trying to picture this. What size/style beach bars are you referring to?

I got lucky found the bike in my sig pic with bars just the kind I like, moved em up on 4" risers couldnt be more comfortable (same reach and seat height as Fatboy)

(I guess theyre some aft mkt beach bars 1")

They were on my RKC when I bought it used of a guy and I believe they were stock. The biggest problem I had with them is i have long arms and they were too tight for me especially at low speed with a passenger. There are different styles of beach bars and I am not familiar with them but personally I didn't like the ones that were on it.
