RK custom & beach bars
I'm thinking about a set of Beach bars for my custom,But my concern is my bad back.Do they make you lean forward after riding for awhile.I have set on bikes with Beach bars but never rode long distance.I like to lean back when I ride.Will these bars letme do that after long rides or Do they make you lean forward the longer you ride?Will I have to buy any longer cables?Thanks for help.

I was just looking at a RK Classic with beach bars, and they look to me like you would be sitting straight up. BUT, the thing that concerned me was the bars came all the way back to gas cap and fuel gauge on the tank--hit them, in fact, at full lock, and had even dented one of them. Something to consider at any rate.

You can raise the beach bars up, but that does put the angle of the grip off, which gets pretty uncomfortable on the wrists.

I have beach bars have logged 69k miles using them. I find them very comfortable using a windshield and a backrest.
True, if you get 1 1/4" inch bars, they can hit the gas cap and gas gauge. However, I have 1" bars and have no troubles. Cables rubbing are no problem if you run them correctly.
