I have the 508s on my o7 RKC with sundowner seat. I'm happy with em. I enjoy the 16" pullback. the 518s are wider but not as much pullback. i recently took a 1000 mile roundtrip ride. very comfy without shoulder fatigue. they also look awesome on the bike.

I have 517's on my bike. I'm very comfortable and the pullback is perfect for me 5 07".

I had the 508's on my Road King Classic. They sure looked good, but were not as comfortable as I wanted them to be - too much pullback and the grips were angled too much like a wheelbarrow. I think the 518's would have been a better choice for me (5'10").

Thanks for all the replies.I've decided on the 518s.I picked up used 518s with a few blemishes for $50. Planon having them rechromed wich sould run about $60.So I shouldbe saving about $100. Thanks again for the help.

Chubby recommends 508 vs 518 based on a person's height (just as a general distinction). Anybody know what that recommendation is? I'm looking to put them on a 2008 RKC.
