2017-18 Road Glide Special bars on Road King Special

Hey There,

i recently added a 2017 Road King Special to the stable. Absolutely love the bike but the stock bars leave a little to be desired, at least for me. Like the height but the wrist angle and pullback are not enough for my liking.

My question is...will the stock bars off a 2017-18 Road Glide Special fit/work on a 2017 Road King Special?

Tried doing some research but haven’t found anyone who has tried this. Usually always aftermarket bars being added.

Also for suggestions on aftermarket apes w 10-12” rise w a better pullback that stock.

Thanks

They should work just fine. The Road Glide and the Road King have the narrower base on them and wont work with a Bat Wing but they work the other way around.

The only issue you'll have is with the risers. Since the turn signals are on the handlebars of the road king special, the bars and risers are 1 1/4" all the way through. From what I know, only the road king special does this. The road glide bars are 1 1/4" that step down to 1" on the risers I believe.
