Thanks for all the replies everyone. This is interesting to me. I was expecting more Wide Glide bars.

I'm just getting used to them on my bike. I wasn't immediately please with them and I've had to adjust them forward and backward a couple times to find the correct angle. Seems most comfotable with the bars at the same angle as the forks. I'm also getting used to the wrist angle which is quite a bit steeper than stock.

Who knows, I may have to try Wild 1s next.

I am currently with stock bars but I am thinking about changing the bars and grips on my RK Classic. My left shoulder gets sore at the end of the day so I am thinking something that moves my arms up and back a little and then Kury Iso Grips with throttle bosses on both sides.

Still stock but thinking Wide Glideor Heritage on my 08 RG. Not suer if they fit.
They will fit just fine... If you like the WG, take a look at the Wild1 #513 - they are 99% WG but Chubbie and work/Look Great

Thanks gdkenoyer!! $50 ain't too bad if it makes the ride more comfortable. And cheaper on eBay I bet.
shoot, you can get them cheaper for $50 fromthe online HD folks: zanotti or surdyke
It's my understanding that you don't have to change the cables either, is that correct?
Correct; the brake line might need to be straightened out a bit tho.
