Dimensions for stock VS RK High Bars
Does anyone have the dimensions , width, rise, pullback for the 2008 RK stock bars versus the dimensions for the RK High bars ? When I bought my '08 last August, the guy said it had the Heritage bars, but it would be nice to have less width and more pull back. Makes my back ache in the middle after a long stretch. So considering the High bars if they would help somewhat.

Part Number Tip to Tip Base Width Pull Back Knurl Rise
55954-00 [RK Hi rise] 30" 13.75" 9" 3.14" 9.50"
56902-08 [Heritage Style] 31.25" 11.50" 5.00" 3.14" 12.00"
Heritage bars are also a popular swap on a RK, but the searches can get interesting with the Heritage Style and Heritage bars which may vary by model year.

I just put Heritage Bars on my 2010 RK. They are a little narrower and a little higher. My stock bars had a 7.5-inch rise and the Heritage Bars are 12. ( they were new from the dealer ) The feel is a lot better for me. I did this as part of my winter overhaul and Mods, so I don't have any real time with them. I should mention that I had a Heritage Softail for years and these feel pretty much the same if that's any help. Good luck.
PS: if you have TBW and plan on doing extensions be careful because the green plug will NOT go by the dimples. I ended up getting the CVO TBW it has very long leads with NO green plug --- worth the money.
