I know they are notched for TBW, but is there something about them that makes them incompatible with earlier models. Specifically, a 2004 Road King?

 

what about an evo?

 

I don't follow

 

Oh, I see. It's a follow-up question. My bad.

 

Why not try running the numbers thru HD first. Here is what they have
Heritage Style Handlebar - Polished


Designed to provide extra touring comfort for the Road King® or Road Glide® rider, this 1" diameter polished stainless steel bar has 3" more pullback compared to the stock Road King® handlebar.

FLHR Heritage-Style Handlebar Requirements Chart
56902-08


Fits '08-later FLHR, FLHRC, FLTR, FLTRU and FLTRX models. All models require separate purchase of additional components. Does not fit models with Sidecar, Heated Hand Grips with internal switch wiring, Hydraulic Clutch Kits, Handlebar Mounted Gauges, or Road Tech™ Riser Mount Radio.

 

So, is that a no?

 

I suppose if you wanted you could make anything fit even when the catalog says no.

 

Half the stuff on my bike is not supposed to fit. A little patience, allot of brute force, and a BFH is normally all that is required.

 

They'll work on your 04 Road King

 

+1 I just put some on my 06 Road King with no problem. I didn't have to alter anything. It was just a straight forward bar swap.
