For whatever reason that escapes me, Most bikes originally came with the beach style bars from the factory.

Great question for Randy Burkey since he owns a gorgeous 2007 Big Block Bike.

Aren’t buck horn bars the narrow ones they put on Sportsters. ? Ive seen many pictures of BH don’t recall seeing buck horns but plenty of beach bars. I have them on my trike.

Beach bars UNLESS they were changed by the dealer after purchasing from Factory.
I have never seen anything but beach bars from the Factory on any new bikes I bought.

Buckhorn bars are not cool bars on any bikes I have seen...weird handwrist position

I hated those early Sportster bars. Weird hand position and the floppy rubber mounts didn't help, either

Maybe Boss Hoss switched to their Beach Bars in 2001 as that was the first year I ordered a new Hoss.

When I ordered my trike in 2008, that was true for sure. Beach bars were stock equipment, the more narrower ones were optional.

I never rode a bike with beach bars but it appears to me that steer the bike into turns as opposed to leaning . They look to me almost like half a steering wheel .

When I ordered my 2001 from the factory,
it was supposed to come with the
buckhorn handlebars.
While the build took place, the factory
changed from the buckhorn bars to the
beach bars.
So mine has the beach bars. :ridding:

On another note, my bike is currently at
the factory for them to alter my bike's
trailer hitch at the rear brake caliper.
Rear brake caliper inlet fitting is hitting
the trailer hitch.
I am sure the fab shop will take good
care of the modification. :D
