Well, said goodbye to my Slim today, and have a Road King sitting, waiting for me to blow off work for the day and pick it up. Has to wait a little longer, had a couple unexpected bills pop up. For those that read my other post, I went with the '11 Road King, 12k Canadian. Now to pick some goodies to make it my own. Anyone running beach/cruiser bars? Opinions and pictures very welcome.

 

Also, anyone know tallest apes possible with stock cables?

 

10 inch I put them on before I went bigger.

 

I don't know many people who like the beach bars. They look cool but the riding position is tough on you.

 

Incorrect approach, in my opinion. Determine what bars are comfortable for you, install them, and THEN source the cables/hoses/wire extensions you need, if any.

Doing it this way may take a little longer, but can actually save time by eliminating guesswork. Generally works better to do it in the off season.

Beach bars (YUCK) and Buckhorn pullback's. Have since installed +3" cables

 

I love beach bars on my 2003 RKC. I had them on my 1974 Shovel as well. Maybe its me but I find them more comfortable than stock bars.

I agree, but good info to know before I go and order a set, and then come to realize I need extensions. the closest HD Dealer is 3 hours away, so I cant go and play around. Going to get a stick, and hold it where its comfy and get my wife to measure.
