I have over 1,000 miles on my 08 RK now, and it is killing my lower back.

The stock bars force me to ride in an upright position. With my back at

a 90 degree angle to the seat. Even smaller bumps go right up my spine.

I think this is due to the upright riding position. I have a wideglide, and

have little problem with it. I think this is due to the more laid back riding

position. Anyone else have this problem? If so what did you change, and

what were the results?

 

Still doing research on the bars I want.&nbsp\\; I have the same problem except its my sholder and neck.

 

Chubby 518!!! thats all i've got to say!!!!&nbsp\\; Just got my bike back from the shop and couldnt be happier.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; They have alot more pullback than the stock bars and are a hell of a lot more comfortable.

 

I had lower back problem after 1 hour riding on the RKC stock bars&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; switched to the HD Heritage bars and the issues went away&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; it cost me 99 dollars to buy and have the dealer install them&nbsp\\; could not be happier

 

Look into the Wild 1's Road King bars. They make 2 styles for the RK. I've used both in the past and they are great bars. A few $$$$ but you can run all your wires internally.
