I have a 07 RKC I would like to get a handle bar thats about 2-3inches higher and maybe 2in back more than stock any suggestions with what bars to get and maybe a link or part number ,thanks Bob
You will get a lot of opinions on bars. Here is mine, I installed the Wild 1 518's and I love them. They pull back a little more than stock and are a little wider. You can see the dimensions on Wild 1's site, http://www.wild1inc.com/ , and then compare to HD's site. After I installed mine I put the stock bars up next to the 518's and they looked a little wider, a little higher, and a little longer than stock, but they had the same overall shape. I also put 4800 miles on them in 10 days and they never gave me the stabbing pain in between my shoulder blades that the stock bars did. I hope this helps. JMHO
Lots of opinions... that's for sure. My cousin picked up a set of stock heritage softail bars on ebay (cheap) and swears they are the best he's had. WildOnes would be my vote too.

Damn, I though I was the only one that got that stabbing pain in the shoulder blades.
Sorry for the derail
