Anyone running these bars on a Heritage and if so, how comfortable are they?

Don't think the chubby 518's or 508's would be a good fit for a heritage. There're more suited for the touring bikes, IMO.

jkelley, were you able to use the stock cables and brake line with the 518's and do you have pics of the bike with them on?
Thanks,

Give the techs at Wild 1 a call. They can tell you a lot about whats best for you and your bike. I have 518's on my RKC...they fit me well @ 6'-3"...I think the 508's would be a better choice for you though.

Ride safe.

Whiskers, you may be right about the 508's, but I'd hate to be to cramped.
