    Hey how’s it going everybody. I picked up my SM in Dec. of 2018. I named her Aurora I use it as a daily commuter going to school and work. So far i put Led underglow and British custom turnout pipes. I was looking into getting new bars to get a more cafe racer kind of look and having problems deciding what bars to choose. The beach bars are cool and all but a bit wide to my liking . Hope to ride with y’all cause being a solo rider is cool and all but i want to meet other riders.

    Hi and welcome in youngster ! Good to see a 20 yr old gets "a" cruiser ! I don't think I like the "under lighting" but the make it mine bug is really good to see !! Buy the bar's that you like , if they turn out to be 'Too' wide cut them ? I've done that to my bikes , almost every one I've owned.

    The SM has that retro look with the pin striping i love so much.. the Led lights on my bike are wired to my brakes so I’m sure i can be seen while i look cool.. i was looking into getting spot lights but I’m waiting to see on what kind of bars to find first. If not, i was looking to add a light bar under the headlight.

    My spot lights are mounted on 8mm aluminium plate cute to fit round the fork legs bolted to the two threaded hole's that are under the bottom yoke !

    Hi and Welcome to the Forum, wide beach bars are great, stops you bumping into people and spilling your beer!
