Same here.. I love my RK M8 but the stock bars are just too high for my 5'8" self.. Changing them out looks like a friggin nightmare, so I pulled em back and down a bit. Hopefully that will be enough.

Great bike with a new look, I like It. HD has always been good at feeling what people want, bout time they did a custom King. Does not mean Im going out to get one, but its still a nice bike.

Rk bars
Hey bro, I am 5'8 too I just posted a thread on putting 12" WO582 on my 14 RK, it really wasn't that bad, had to buy switch extentions but both cables worked. I even swapped my heated grips. check it out in rushmore section.

Pisses me off that I didn't know about these a few weeks ago when I bought my Road King. Don't know if I'd have spent the cash on it, but it would have been nice to have the option. Going to a single headlight and moving the turn signals to the bars is something I definitely want to do.
Are Harley sales people really that behind on what's to come that they're not aware of a special Road King option?

I'm a chrome guy, plus I like having 3 lights up front for the day time. If your in to all the black stuff it would be a cool bike for them.

I like it. I want to love it but I don't. Can't put my finger on why. The colors maybe? I love the hot rod red with the flames but without them I'm not feeling it. If they did a glossy grey I might need one.
