I put Heritage bars on my 2006 Road King Classic. When I test drove the bike the bars that were on it had my elbows on my chest and my wrist turned in so much that my hands went numb within 10 miles. Talked to the salesman and the service guy and that's what they suggested. Sat on a heritage and checked out the bars on it. It was the perfect combination of height and wrist angle for me. People ask me all the time if I have mini apes on it.

Thanks everyone. I never thought of RK Custom bars.
Beach bars would give that low and wide, yet hand in my lap seating, unless they make some without all that pull back.
Mslater,
That Yahoo link took me to sign up for an email address...were there pics or something you were trying to post?

Did ya check out Brian Klock's bars https://www.kustombaggers.com/products/?id=183
Looks like what you're asking for?
I have yet to find one set and change out but the standard bars are too low for me. I'm 6'2" with a 36" inseam and when I make tight turns the bars hit my knees.

I know some guys with RG's went with Heritage bars, and some went with Wide Glide bars.... Go to your dealer... and sit on what's in stock.... see if there's any stock bars that suits you... or are at least close to your goal... maybe then Wild 1 could help you better

Two words..."They" and "Suck" at least for my big azz
All kidding aside, they look good, but I want something lower and not so that my wrists are turned in like im pushing a wheel barrow.
