I put on 18" Carlini gangsters 1 1/2" and loved them top-shelf craftsmanship and very comfortable. After installing them I got a shoulder injury so I decided on Burly Beach Bars 1 1/4" so I installed them and now I am in love. They are by far the most comfortable bars I have ever installed on a Harley.
I'm happy for you that you like the beach bars, but my result wasn't as good on my Fatboy. They looked good, but riding the bike felt like running a garden tiller and I just couldn't get used to it.
Thanks, for the kind words. I really like the ape hanger look and it was fun to ride but I was forced to get my arm down. This bar style started in 1903 and my bike is a 2006 Deluxe Nostalgia so I am trying hard to not look like the other thousands of Harley Deluxe models out there. Serial #1
