Default New Bars

Hello everyone
I am thinking about some new bars for summer and want some opinions and /or pictures. I am thinking maybe a classic style beach cruiser/knuckle type bar? I want a cool vintage look and maybe a little more comfortable than my drag bars. Let me know what you think.

Some people like the HD Hollywood bars. They are like beach cruiser style. But your bike doesn't look like a cruiser with the paint, exhaust, covers and guards removed, etc. it looks more like an end of the world apocalypse bike. I like the zombie performance website. They have some bad *** bars.

As Ployd4 mentioned , the holleywood bars look pretty cool.
I almost went with them , but they have to be internal wired ( I think ).
I settled on a set of Roadster bars # 56085-83A so as to keep it simple.
Very comfy too.
Here's a video of a guy with holleywood bars , shows width , seating position , and mirror clearance too.


Here's a right shot of the Roadster bars.



Here's a shot from the rear.

Beach or Hollywood will be my next set of bars. I think they fit the theme of my bike more. I went with my Z bars before I really decided on a direction for my bike. Usually not a huge deal but I internally wired the bars, solder and heat shrink

Looking at yours I think some fat Zs would look good.
