I actually had 1.5 risers on mine hated it I agree that they like cool with the low risers but I like to ride my bike and if your 6 ft tall then you are leaning to far forward with the low risers. I went with the 4 inch straight risers from wild 1. Now I can ride all day with no issues. One thing I did was a 1.5 in tank lift that made it appear that the bars are lower. I bet you keep those risers the way they are.

 

Guess you were going for alot of PB. Looks like you now have about 16" which is close to the max before you have to mount the bike from the back.

They look similar to the 518s/RKII bars I put on the wife's Deluxe except the rise is less. Kept the risers too, not only for the extra 2" of pullback but also to get the bars up a bit. They were the perfect fit for her. 16.25"PB.

I liked the feel so much I put the same setup on mine using including Deluxe risers. I was surprised they felt as good as they considering my arms are longer than hers. Maybe it's because my seat puts me back farther than her stock one.

I like my forearms to be about parallel to the road when riding and these fit the bill well. While they are much more comfortable for my back and shoulders I have found that they have an old wrist injury acting up. With the pronounced pb, the handgrips by necessity have to be pulled in more than on bars with less pb. They aren't quite as bad as the 508s but it's still alot more than stock. My wife doesn't have any issue with them.

With the bars being a few inches wider than stock we have to be a bit more careful when parking the bikes in the garage but I can see that's not going to be an issue with you. I'd love to have a garage that big and with a heater too.

 

I love mine

 

Lookin good! i just installed the same bars on my 94 softail nostalgia. I love the look of some low wide beach bars, to bad i havent had a chance to ride with them on yet. cant wait for winter to go away

 

I am playing with the baffles, that's why the exhaust is pulled apart. I have the fishtail tips on. Don't have any plans yet, of going with a longer exhaust. I like the look of low risers but want to keep the stock ones so I went with the Bikini Beach, they have less rise. I figured lower rise bars with the stock risers would give me a look that I can live with. They aren't finished but they are more comfortable than I was expecting.

 

Those bars and risers look nice. I'll bet you'll find that combination comfortable to ride. I went with a similar setup on my Heritage; HD beach bars and HD fat bar riser kit.

HD beach bars: Width 36" Rise 2.5" Pullback 14"
HD fat bar riser kit: Rise 3.6"

 

I'll have to do this on mine & BTW thank you very much for the added project. Will you have to change the control cables?

 

Yes, I was hoping some might work but it doesn't look like it. I have a few parts coming soon for something else I an playing with. There may be some parts I can use, then I'll order the rest.

 

Nice work so far. The ride is very comfortable and relaxed with a set of BBB. You are gonna love 'em.

Ride safe!!

 

Nice! And that shop is the deal now.
