Anyone have any photos of beach bars mounted on their bike? I think they would compliment the tank style and give it a lower look. What are the pros and cons of the beach bars? (not the bikini and fruity drink kind, LOL)

They make slow speed maneuvers incredibly dangerous. My dads Road King has them. I nearly dropped it several times one day while trying to make sharp low speed turns. Kept trapping my knee between the tank and bars!

Now I remember you telling me that. I saw a bike parked the other day and the bar end was touching the tank... pinch point, ouch.

Okay, but as the "lead mechanic" for thirty years in a bicycle shop (My dad owns it and he doesn't know about this post! ), I'm pretty sure that was a single speed bike. Sheeesh, you think they at least could have rustled up a three speed or somethin....
