Default HD Beach Bar

Hi guys

Bought a 2009 Road King today
Now I am trying to figure out which bar to put on.
I really wanna put a beach bar on the bike, but for the hell of it I just can't find the measurements of the HD beach bar to compare with the aftermarket ones.
Does anyone know the pull back of the HD beach bar?

Thanx in advance!

Watch out for beach bars, Dont like the handling, when you turn the bars the hand grips can hit your belly.

I love my beach bars, just be careful when making a U turn....be sure to pull your leg away from the tank first. Once you make that a habit, you're good to go!!

I hope this helps. I have the HD Beach Bars for my 06 Road King. Absolutely love them. I am about 5'10" and they fit me to the bike very well. They measure 38" from bar end to end. I measured from the center of the riser, straight back and got about 14" to the end of the bars. I have put over 10,000 miles on the bike with them installed and never have had them hit my knees or my belly. I do have Jaybrake FL forward controls (removed the floorboards) on the bike so that may be why though.

I have them on my 2006 Road King and happy with them. I'm only 5'4" and find the height and pullback good for me.

I like mine, electrical cables are hidden inside. Comfortable.

You might want to take a look at the RK Custom bars. Much like beach bars only a lot cheaper and mine installed with stock cables.

Bobino did you have to extend any cables or wires. They look great!

Snirtman, you are able to use the same clutch cable. I had to change the brake line for a 90 degrees banjo fitting. No wiring extension or new TBW connector needed.

My 07 had them on there when I bought it. I tried to like them but the felt like plow handles and I felt like I was coming into a landing at a stop light. Very wobbley, to wide for me I guess. Pulled them off and I like it a lot better. They do look good on a RKC.
