Thats awesome! Should be an easy conversion. On my 2012, I even added raisers to increase the height of the stock heritage bars without issues so you should be ok.
The only issue I ran into was having the right sized tool to de-pin the deutsch plug.
I had heritage bars on my 2012 RKC... maybe they come stock on the RKC's... not sure.
I ended up selling that bike, saving my pennies and a year later paying cash for a 2011 RKC - pretty much the exact same bike from what everyone said here.
I put some Chubby's (14's) on my 2011, much better fit than the heritage bars and it was a really easy job.
I say all this to ask "why do you want to go with heritage bars?"
If you are only going with heritage bars because you don't want to pay the outrageous prices HD charges to install taller bars, it is not a hard project at all and not super expensive if you do it yourself.
If the height of the heritage bars fit you then great, but don't be afraid to do that project yourself if a taller bar will make the bike a more comfortable ride for you.
No, the RKC came with the same bars as the "base" RK.
