Feedback, huh?? "Old school harley handle bars " is a very non-specific statement.
Apes were "old school". Drag bars were "old school". Stock bars were "old school". Beach bars were "old school". Buckhorns....well they looked like ****, so they weren't used as much, but they were "old school". I've seen 'em all on Knuckleheads.

What bars are you talking about??

do you mean the orig. style beach bars? pretty sure most if not all knuckles had springer front ends (i could be wrong) so you would need some different risers to make it work. like KAHAONE said.....you didn't provide enough info bro.

Also think he means the Beach bars. I've seen a Nighty with one...the bike is a bit narrow for it IMHO???

yeah a beach bar style and no you wouldnt have to have a springer front end and all you would have to do is put a 3 or 4 inch riser on

And for the part numbers...Narrow Beach Bar it is called http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US...ndlebars.html#

If I ever get a Dyna the beach bars would be my choice.

These are Nash MC's 14" Pudgy Grits with their Vintage Grips in Red. If you have any questions PM me. I'm running their internal sticky throttle as well.
