Default Softail Deluxe bars one extreme to the other

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.

They fit with the deluxe theme better than apes. I like beach bars and music as well.

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.

I had to change the cables. LA Choppers has them as a kit for beach bars. The ape hanger cables and lines were way too long.
