Default 2018 Road King Handlebar Diameter

I think the stock handlebar on a Road King is 1", part number 55800099

Can someone verify that for me?

I ordered a set of Factory 47 Malo's last night, if the stock bars are a different size (they are 1 1/4" on the RKS) then I would need to order a riser or adapter.

Looks like it's going to be a direct replacement, thanks for verifying

Road King Special is 1.5" all around, no taper at the clamping surface. Not sure which RK you have.

RKS is 1.25. With the Malos you will need an adapter. I just did the same install. Worked perfect.

I have a question on this if anyone can help... I know this is an old thread. I have a 2020 road king standard and was given some bars that are for a “special” which means they are 1 1/4” diameter all the way around.... I already wired the bars, my mistake as they won’t fit my 1” risers.

Will an oem 1 1/4” riser for a special fit on my standard?? I’d rather buy a riser setup then more bars and wires.

please help if possible. Thanks in advance

There is a riser kit for the Road King Fat Handlebar, I had to use kit for my `16 Road King Standard (the Fat Handlebar is 1.25 at the riser area).
