I'm looking at these buckhorn bars for my '04 Road King. Does anyone use these and care to share your opinions. I really prefer my wrist positions to be a little more verticle, as opposed to horizontal on my current bars. I also like to ride 'laid back' and don't like reaching forward so much. Thanks for any thoughts.

I've had buckhorns on othet bikes, and strongly disliked them. I find i have much less control with them. Others have different experiences and opinions.

 

I was wondering about them - I love buckhorns on my FXS, FXR and sporty, but thought they would be too narrow for a touring bike. I went with with Harley's "pullback" bars on my RK. The wrist position is between stock and beach bars. Let us know if you go with it...


edit to add the stock bars on a fatboy are wider and have similar hand position to buckhorns, but may be too low for you on a RK as the seat is lower on a softail frame

 

My bike had buckhorns on it from the previous owner. I hated them. As mentioned above, I felt like I didn't have 100% control of the bike, even stopping at a red light with a passenger felt unstable to me. My beach bars cured that.

 

Well, I finally put some pull-back bars on the Road King. I absolutly love 'em. My arms are finally closer to my side, have a distinct bend at the elbow, and I don't have to lean so far forward. Bike handles very well and I feel more in control. Glad I did it and probably won't go back.
