Default Road king fat bars.

I'm liking the looks of the fat bars on the road kings in the pictures I have seen so far. Can someone help me out on what I would need to swap my 15 road king bars over? Parts beside just the bars required? I can wrench just fine and just looking for info and a few pictures and some input on the swap.
The Carlini drag bars look sweet too.

Thanks

Depends on the bars.....

If you go with fat bars that go back down to 1" where the riser clamps are and are not much different specs than original bars - you might not need anything else. Some require more- clutch cable, brake cable, extended wires, etc

I would suggest BR Custom bars - top notch quality and customer service.

Good luck

Change out your risers to accept 1.25 bars

That won't work if the bars step down to 1", or he gets 1.5" bars.....

Too many variables. OP really has to decide on bars first before anyone call really tell him what else he needs....
