Default Bar question for a RK Custom?

I just bought a 2006 RK Custom and im not crazy about the stock bars, I really like the SE RK bars but to put those on my bike i would have to remove the small chrome fairing piece on the head light and i like the way it looks with it on so thats out. If anyone has any suggestions and or pics i would appreciate it!!

Do yourself a favor and give them a good try. I was the same when I bought my 05 RKC but the more I ride it the better I like them.

There is a Road King Custom in the RK picture post that has a drag bar type set up on it. They look like the HD Street Slammer bars. They look bitchin' on that bike.

I had a set of SERK bars on my custom, and you DO NOT have to remove the chrome wind deflector. You do have to buy 1.25" risers tho as the SERK bars do not go down to 1" at the clamps. Here is a pic of them on my bike. They are sittin in my garage PM me if you are interested... Stock cables work too...

I love apes. I can't see changing out bars, and getting nearly the same look... Just sayin'.

If I was to ever change bars from apes, I would look into those street slammer bars. I don't know how comfortable they are, but man, they look good...

Between my last 4 bikes, I've tried them all I think; drag bars, apes, beach bars. The Wild 1 R.K. II - 518 Barsare the most
comfortable set of handlebars I've had on a bike.......and they look pretty good too (imo)
