Hi all,
I love my new Classic but want to change the bars.. The standard bars are comfortable but I prefer the beach bar look and don’t like chrome so want to change them to black. I have a couple of choices, either remove the current bars and get them powder coated to match the forks or buy a set of black beach bars..
The challenge I have is that the BMW beach bars are just too wide. I love the look of these (taken from Pier City Customs) but they’ve told me both master cylinders need to be changed in order to fit them…
Any other recommendations out there…

I love my beach bars and the width I’d just right for comfort and great steering angles.

Not sure how they compare to the BMW bars and you’d still need to powdercoat them but that’s another option. I like the BMW mini ape bars but the fact they haven’t allowed for internal wiring on the accessory bars is an oversight IMO.
 
They are the BMW accessory bars. I machined the slots for internal wiring. (a huge miss on the part of BMW). And yes you need the extended lines and cables.
 
I purchased the BMW accessory cables.
