"beach" handlebars

RE: "beach" handlebars
Inforit's comments and photo show the differences between the HD beach bars and the Chubby 508's. Looks like the 508's have about 2 more inches of pullback and angle the grips differently. I had not done a direct comparison between the two, but when I sat on a Custom at the dealership, the bars seemed very close to my 508's. It's worth mentioning that the 508's have a more pronounced "wheelbarrow" grip angle. After a few days ride this angle felt natural, but it was quite different that the stock bars on my Road King Classic!

For those who still care about this thread. I have a stock 2017 Street Glide and beach bars on a 2000 Fat Boy. Love the beach bars except in tight turns. I feel like i have to lean forward too much to reach the far grip. I'm 5'9 so my wing span isn't that great.
Not a big deal - I wouldn't change them but if you are into tight twisty roads the beach bars might not be the best fit.
