- June 10, 2024, 17:35:15 PMGot the Emgo Beach Bars installed and all is well.
Bars are knurled and fit in the risers perfectly. I had to drill a small hole to mount the right side controls and reroute the cables. The front brake line is at its limit and im a bit OCD so I ordered a short line extender (not yet installed).
I didnt take any pics prior to but here are a couple I took today.
Took a few minutes into the first ride with the bars to adjust to them, but changing over set me back in the seat just enough and gives me a more comfortable riding position for sure.

I've got a set (I think -38"), of beach bars on my 01 that are really comfortable, with just the exact right amount of pullback for me - sadly I can't remember the make. I've got a set of 38" Flanders beach bars on my 99, and although I think they look great, and I have got used to them, the riding position is quite a bit forward compared to the set I have on the 01. The bars on the 01 required some slight cable rerouting but the ones on the 99 didn't require any rerouting.
I'm gonna give these a try. Compared to the stock bars dims, they should have just enough pull back for me. Once I have them I'll update.

Reading thru posts from years gone by it seems one answer was using risers (Phat II specifically) to bring the bars back a bit. With the maker of these risers long gone, Im wondering if anyone has found and/or is using aftermarket Beach Bars to bring them a bit closer to the rider? Or possibly any other risers that are on the market that will do the same thing?
thanks in advance
