I have a 2018 Road King. Overall I don't have a big issue with the stock bars but, I would like them to be a little bit wider. I like the beach bar look but they turn in too much. I broke my wrist when I was younger and I don't have as much movement as I should. Any ideas?

You should get a pair of originals from back in the day. When I bought my 2010 Road King I installed the "Heratige style" bars which are higher with less wide lateral reach than the OEM bars. I believe that Harley went to the taller less wide bars as originals at some point. There must be many of the originals still for sale.

If you like the beach bar look but want something a bit taller these KST King bars might be something you'll like. They are little wider than the stock RK bars as well. They are also 1 1/2" diameter for internal wires.
I have the above mentioned "Heritage-Style" bars in 1 1/2" diameter from KST. I'm not sure if they still make them, but you can ask.
