Stop by your local dealer and sit on the different Road King models to try out the bars. That was how I ended up swapping out for the Road King Custom bars. When I sat on the Road King Custom and grabbed the bars I said "yeah, that's how they should feel". They are a direct swap for the stock Road King Classic bars and look to be very close to the Wild One 508's. Here's a pic -

I went with the HD Reach handlebars . just the right height and pullback .
Great set of bars and only $50.00 at the stealership.

+1 Interal wiring did complicate the install somewhat, but I'd have eventually wanted to do this anyway. Sooner better than later.

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.
Same here. They're chrome and run about $50.
