Default pics of Beach bars on stock Deluxe risers

I kept my stock Deluxe risers because I had things bolted to them that I wanted to keep there. I went with Bikini Beach bars. They feel good when riding, but you do have to look off to the left or right to use the mirrors. Much different than stock. I always have the windshield on but took it off for the pics. The leather bag and speakers I have mounted to the risers show up a lot more with the windshield off. They look cluttered compared to some of the great looking bikes with beach bars, but we like to tour with the things mounted on them. If anyone is thinking of Beach bars and wants to keep their risers these pics may help you some on how it'll look.

Good looking bike, but if I ran with a windshield most of the time I wouldn't bother with beach bars. Ruins the look when you have a shield or a fairing on.

I have the windshield on all the time so thought I'd post a couple with it on. Thanks for the comment on the view from the deck, it's starting to take shape around here. Now I have to get the rock work, steps, and handrail done and the deck should look OK. If I hadn't bought the bike I would have the house finished

Nice looking bike!!!

Did you change also wiring and cables or you are still using the stock ones?

The clutch cable is rerouted and the length seems good. The brake line had to be 4" longer. I got some throttle lines but they are exactly the wrong length. Longer or shorter I could have made them work. Longer I could have run them through the risers and shorter they would go how they are now. I put the stock Deluxe throttle lines back on they just make it. If they were 2" longer they would be good. I think.
