hmmmm..... real beach bars might be a bit much on such a small bike..... maybe you could hunt down a set of black "mini" beach bars.... might be kinda cool in an "old school" way.... would definately be different.... seems just about everyone who has a nightster has the same stuff.... either drag bars or ape hangers and usually a set of V&amp\\;H short shots

I like beach bars too but I also think that most of them would be too big for a sportster
I have been lookin real hard at the pulled back wide flat track bars sold by a couple
different companys.&nbsp\\; I think they would be pretty comfortable, pullback and not so wide.
Theyre sold in black also

If I had a Nightster, I'd get mini apes. I like beach bars on a larger bike but not on something as narrow as the Nightster. So by process of elimination...DRAG BARS!!!
The style is completely up to you. I like the idea of pull back high rise drags. More comfortable on longer rides.

I vote for Drag bars. Beach bars are pretty big and IMO are for larger bikes, but I have never seen beach bars on a Nightster. You could start a new Nightster trend like short shots LOL.

I went with 32 inch drag bars and am very happy, but have been toying with the idea of going with some 12inch fat apes with internal wiring.
