Default Show me your Road King Handlebars!

Hey Guys,
Having a tough time trying to decide which bars to put on my bike? The stock ones gotta go...my hands are too low & I feel like I'm slouched over to much (can feel my stomach tighten when I ride). I'm 5'11 235 lbs.
At first I wanted Street Slammers, but the more I think about them the more I feel that they belong more on Dyna's & Softy's & NOT on a Bagger. I don't like Beach Bars & don't want an Ape that's too too tall.
Show me what you guys have & tell me what kind of bar it is, cost, pros/cons...ect. Just Road King's please!

I have Softail Heritage bars on mine, which are stock on cop RKs. I love them, and my bike handles great. I tried the Carlini Freeway Bars, but dumped them because they weren't comfortable.

RK high bar(top) Chubby's WO508(bottom)


I ended up using the RK high bar. Stock does not have enough pullback, Chubby's has a terrible wrist angle - like holding a wheel barrel. Just check out the above pics for comparison. The Chubby's are good for about 300 miles, but my wrists would get sore after that. I routinely do 600 mile days so I sold the Chubby's to my neighbor who rides much shorter rides. He too observed the wrist problem with the Chubby's, but he said he doesn't mind since he never rides more than 200 miles in a day. Below are a couple of pics of my '04 with the RK high bar installed.
