#99661 vpower (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 12 Burly Brand Beach Retro Bar question 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Hello. I would like to buy "Burly Brand Beach Retro Bar 1 inch" for my RS. Do you have any experience with this bar? I'm going to order it at my local Custom HD dealer and in his catalouge there are 2 options: beach bar for up to 1982 HD models and from 1982 HD models. Which one should I order? Any hints? Below the picture of the bar that I want: http://www.cruisercustomizing.com/detail.cfm?model_ID=39&Category_ID=10&manufacturer_ID=32&product_ID=19145&related=short Is it better to take the one with dimples or without?

The dimples are used on the new HDs so the wiring would fit under the control clamp, our wiring comes out behind the controls so we don't need the dimples.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #99685 vpower (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 12 Re:Burly Brand Beach Retro Bar question 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Thanks. That's the answer I was looking for.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #99744 Jimtec (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 17 Re:Burly Brand Beach Retro Bar question 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   WARNING: These bars will not fit your risers! They neck down from 1.25" to 1" at the controls and risers, the problem is that Harley risers are spaced at 3.5" center to center and Yamaha is spaced at 4", the neck down will be inside your riser. Yamaha risers can be machined to accomidate the bars but this is not a bolt on. Jim   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #99770 smhowse (User) NOPE, it's a Roadstar!

I think the 1" should fit without any changes (except brake hose length).

Greg Yes Greg, That is correct, the 1" bars will work with no problem but they are not called "Burly", this name refers to the 1.25" bars from this supplier.
