okay, first off, i did post this in the wtb section, but after a couple of days and no hits, thought i would try here.
i have an 07 road king custom. it comes stock with the beach bars. well, i think they kinda suck. i don't like the angle that they place my wrists at, like a wheelbarrow.
so, i had a line on some reduced reach bars, but the lister decided he wanted to keep them for a little while longer and give them more time. what i'm looking for is a set of bars to use as an alternative to the stock bars, that are good for a guy with short arms. i would love to get the chubbies, but 200 bones is a lot to pay right now.
so anyone who can help me out with some cheap options, i would greatly appreciate it.
(yes, i know that stock bars are fairly cheap from the dealer, but i hate to spend 50 bucks and then find out that these bars aren't quite what i wanted either. hoping to alleviate that)
thanks

I swapped for heritage bars on my RKC. I tried the flanders extended reach, had the same angle just 2 inches closer. Stock RK bars are tough on the wrist if you do alot of riding.
