handlebar upgrade...
Hey all,
What is the bigest bar i can put on my 07 Roadking Classic without having to extend the cables?
I hear that I might be able to get away with the heritage classic bars...

HD makes a set of touring handlebars for the rK I was told they would fit when I bought them. When I got home and put them on they fit alright but it was very, very tight. No room for play in the lines. Check the site and look up RK touring bars to get the exact specifications.

I put the RK High Bars on my 05 The catalog didn't list them as fitting an 05 but they went on great. Plenty of play in the cables but had to straiten a bend in the brake line a little..

Put the Street Slammer bars on my 06 RK Classic and the wires worked fine. Pulled the grips back and give you a more knuckle forward hand position which really helps to make a comfortable ride.

I had the FXRP bars on my FLHRI for five years. They are 10.5" rise and 31" wide. Just had to bend the brake line straight at the master cylinder. Nice mini apes.

Lots of threads on bars. I put Pre-06 wide glide bars on mine. Slightly higher with a different wrist angle. Same cables.

Another vote for WG bars....
After all the hub-bub about Heritage bars, I took a look at them at a dealership tonight. I immediately remembered how they were on wifey's Heritage. Personally, I do not like the way the ends point up & back. It's just not natural.... at least it's not for my arms.
