I just this weekend put Heritage bars on my 07 RKC, same color as yours. The stock bars were just too short and I was leaning into them a bit. One hour with the stock bars and my back was sore. Put 500 miles this weekend with Heritage bars and couldn't be happier. paid $49 less 15% and one hour labor at $65. no cable changes required.

The stock bars look and feel great in the showroom. Didn't teke but a day or two and I put the heritage classic bars on mine,much better. I wonder how the reach bars compare to the heritage bars?

Wild 1 Chubby Bars, 508's if you're a little shorter......518's for averageto tall height. These are 1 1/4" and will take your stock cables, great quality and the best looking bars for the RK, IMO.

I think it was you who gave me this SAME advice for my RKClssic - I can NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. These bars made the bike way more comfy and fun, and they look much beefier.

I went with Harley's "custom touring bars" for the RK models. First off, they're chrome (that was a big have to get) then they're not radically different like the Heritage bars or beachers. But they are different enough, I like em, and for the price of $43 form the MOCO, can't beat em.
