RE: Road King Handlebars
I used a set of Kuryakyn Burly Bars. They look very similar to the stock bars but pull back quite a bit farther and everything but the wiring reached.Anyone besides me ever notice that Harleys test riders must be related to a member of the ape family, the running boards are to close and the handlebars are to far away. That makes me think monkey.

I'm wondering if someone who has installed the Heritage bars in place of the stock RK bars would post a pic. My '02 RK came with Beach bars and I don't like them at all and want toswitch to either theRK stock or Heritage bars like some have changed to.

RE: Road King Handlebars
I'm still not clear on the grips. Can they be removed and reused? Also, does each lever assembly just unbolt off the old bars and bolt on the new ones?

grips can't be reused, if they are the stock ones. The left grip is glued on. You have to cut it off. Perfect time to upgrade. The levers do just clamp on and off. Bars can be modified for 08's. Someone on here posted about that.
