How many RK owners have switched to Heritage handlebars?
The stock RK bars made my shoulders ache after long rides. I switched to the Heritage bars, and what a difference. How many other RK owners have done the same?

I switched after about a year of riding with the stock bars. Actually took me a while to adjust to the narrower feel. The Heritage bars feel much more comfortable and I'm glad I did it.

I did it at 1k service, along with chroming everything on the handlebars and adding the Sundowner, You'll think you bought a better bike. While your at it add the driver backrest

I can't stand the stock bars. I've been looking for something different. Do you have to change the cables or brake line when switching to the Heritage bars?

I also put the Heritage bars on. A good move for me at 5' 10". However, when I changed to the Sundowner seat, I am now in a slightly uncomforable position. With just a few hundred mile on the Sundowner, I'm not ready to give up. Wonder if the stock bars with Sundowner is a good combo.

I went through about three different bars before I found the ones I like best. Wild ones, Chubby's Knuckle Bars. I think W508 is the number. I'm 6'-4" and I like my arms streched out some and these bars are perfect. They look like they belong, too!!
