When I had my Fatboy, I installed 4-1 risers which helped some. Now with my RK, it feels like I'm having to reach more than normal. I'd sure like to find some risers that had about 3" of pull back. So far I haven't located any. I thought that maybe someone on the forum has ran across an item that would work. Input ?

Might want to look at some pulled back bars - The RK has a cover over the risers and its kind of ugly without it there. Just my opinion!

Hummm, I never gave that a thought, I think your right ! The '08 models have the Heritage bars, which from what I'm told, are an improvement over the old ones. Maybe I should just let well enough alone and learn tyo live with it. Thanks for the input !
Have the same issue with my 2013 RK and will be installing Wild 1 518's once it cools off enough in Las Vegas for me to spend a few hours in the garage!
