Default Vindikta bagger bars on road king

Hello...Looking to see if anyone has pics of the Vindikta "bagger bars" on a Road King without a fairing. I see these bars are made for Street glides but can't see why they wouldn't work on a King.
I'm looking to add 14" apes. I like the 18" width on bottom, which Bad Dad and PY also make, but Bad Dad is very expensive $585, and PY has been very disappointing with many negative reviews to say the least!

I have emailed Vindikta which they replied back very quickly, awesome! But won't order the Bagger bars until I know they are the right "Look & Fit".
So I'm reaching out to see if anyone has Vindiktas, Bad Dad 975 bars, or PY monkey bars which all 3 look alike, with pics on your Road King with these bars, no fairing!! Thank you much!

The photo's shown on the Vindikta website weren't sufficient to solve this for you?

They look odd. These bars were on the front end when I bought it. Took a pic before I pulled them. look like crap in my opinion

I'd have to agree the only reason to get bars with that bend is if you have a batwing fairing.

I'm shocked at how often I see these 6 bend bars on not only Road Kings, but Dyna's and Softails as well. And I look at the bikes and wonder.... hey, those bars are for touring bikes with fairings. What the heck are you thinking??? But that's just me.

Not really...His website didn't show any Road kings with these bars unless I overlooked them. Was hoping that members of the forum have had them on a King without a fairing.
Thanks MIKE93SVT for the pic...Still would like to see the bars with "meat hooks" on a King that is complete, may look different.

I feel the same as others, that they look good with a fairing because of the bend. Still would like to see them for reference. Thanks to all for replies!

They aren't the right bars for a roadking. Doesn't vindicta make them without the bends for the fairing? pic in sig is yaffe 14" made for roadking and roadglide.
