Default Do I have what are referred to as "beach bars" ???

Considering moving to Heritage Bars but would love to know exactly what I currently have so I've got some good info to go on when doing comparison research.

They don't look wide enough to be real beach bars by aftermarket standards. Measure between the ends, those are often 36 or 37" wide and a very low rise, maybe 1-2 inches. Yours look a bit more narrow. Some bar mfgs make what they call a mini beach bar, MAY be one of those, or the Harley MoCo equivalent. Measure them...

Most beach bars don't have very much up-sweep to the ends where the grips fit onto. I'd label yours as quasi-beach bars!

Yep see how wide they are, probably that 36 or 37 inches between the ends I mentioned. Had them on my Deluxe.
