Default Handle Bar ?

I bought this Road King Custom used and am curious if you can tell if these are the stock handlebars or have they been changed? Thanks.

I took a look through your photo albumn. And from all the different angles, and comparing them to my bike (before the apes), they don't appear to be the same bar, at all. Here is a photo of mine with the stock beach style bars, as you can tell by the angle of the grips, they are not the same. Hope this helps.

EDIT: Oops, I couldn't cut and paste it. Try this one.

i went out and took a pic of mine with the stock beach bars from the same angle as yours..... what do you think? i'm thinking they are, except yours are tilted downward just a touch more.

The angle looks like stock RK bars. JL

Thanks guys. I was just curious what they were. I wish they would come back an inch or so more.

No prob. Mine are mounted on the wall in my garage. For $10 bucks, plus shipping, they are yours. They will probally move you back some. If you happen to see a rk custom, ask the guy if they are stock bars, and check them out. They aren't doing me any good. LOL
