handlebars with that corbin?
just got my new corbin dual tour with backrest for my rk. so far it seems pretty cool. i thought i was prepared for how firm it would be, but i wasnt. ive heard a lot about that and i can reiterate... this biotch is firm. but it feels really good too. it will be a few days before i can put any real miles on it. my reach was already being stretched with the stock seat and bars, but this guy has moved me back an inch or two and has definitely sent me shopping for new handlebars. on the customer service side of things, when i ordered my seat i was told that it would ship same day, and that i would have it in 2 days. i noticed that my card didnt get charged that night, so i called them back the next morning and asked wtf? without any prompting from me, they appologized and offered to overnight the seat to me. so props to corbin florida for at least making it right. they do seem very scattered though.

RE: handlebars with that corbin?
I would suggest looking at the Wild 1's site. They have a lot of images of their bars on Road Kings. I had the RKII's on my RKC with a Corbin solo and it fit me great. The RKII's are a little wider and have some more pull back than the stockers. I think rise is about the same. Stock cables worked with the RKII's, but the brake line and throttle cables really should be 2" over IMO. I think Wild 1's even recommends this on their site.

RE: handlebars with that corbin?
I put a Corbin Classic Solo and ended up replacing my stcok bars with Heritage bars and couldn't be happier. Didn't have to replace any cables or brakes either. If it helps you at all I am 6' with my hieght being pretty much split even between upper and lower body, I do have fairly long arms though witha 37" sleeve.

I have an RK on which I had the Sundowner seat and Heritage bars. It was perfect. Bought the Corbin Dual Touring, which also moved me back about an inch, and the Heritage Bars are now to far away. I have ordered the Wild 1 518 to be put on next week to give more reach. If you contact me directly, I will let you know how they work. I am 5'11" with 33 inch sleaves.
