Has anyone tried the Wild1's 508s ?

I like the way the WO518's fit the wrist better more natural

I am considering going with the bars on the SERK. When I sat on the bike I felt like they were in the perfect position for what I wanted. Has anyone installed them yet that can give some insight?

I put the "reduced reach" bars on mine and they are much better. The only problem was that the bars were made for the wiring to route inside the bars which complicated things much more than they needed to be. I understand that Heritage bars are almost the same and they are a direct swap.

I'll take your suggesions and look at the bars you've mentioned.As one of you pointed out, this is atough decisionbecause its apersonal choice, unique to each individual.I don't mind the shape of the stock pipes, just needsomething to come back about two inches. Thanks again.

I put RK High bars on mine. You do not need to change the wires with them. They work great and eliminated the pain I was getting between my shoulder blades. I know some other people that went with the Heritage bars. They can also be put on without any wiring changes.

RE: Road King Handlebars
After wasting a lot of money buying bars that other folks like, I finally figured out that if I wanted bars that were comfortable for me I'd have to fit them to me. I sit on the bike, put my hands where I think I want them and then have a friend measure the rise, width and pullback. Then I start looking at bars. If you have the time and money to spend buying, changing, buying & changing until you find the right set, you can get to know your mechanic pretty well.
