FLHRS bars
Check out a Road King Custom if you can find one. It's pull-back Beach Bars are narrower than most beach bars and fit me well. Once I threw away the front turn signals (they are monted on the bars on a Custom), I could lower them to where they just clear the tank. Extremely comfortable for me. I put a set on my Brother's RKC and he loves them, too. And they only cost about $96, I believe.

I've got the RK Custom bars on my Classic. Don't cost much and you can use all your stock cables and brake lines. I find them to be very comfortable, but every leg, arm, ***, and seat make up a new combination. Try sitting on a Custom and you will get a feel for them. Bonus...... they look cool!

Another vote on the Road King chrome high bars. They fit without any modifications to the cables or hoses and made a world of difference over stock. A buddy has the Heritage bars on his and they are also a nice alternative.

Swapped the stock RK bars for Heritage bars, also. Only problem for me is when I'm stretched out on the highway pegs it's a little bit of a reach, but it's not a problem once I get adjusted. Rode from Atlanta to Daytona and back in October...no problem

Poultney,
I have a set of 08-09 Heritage bars for the RKC for sale, if you're interested. I purchased them, not knowing that they weren't ideal for people with long-ish arms (like me). I took them off 2 days after installing them... They do allow you to sit more upright, but I actually prefer leaning a little forward.
If you're interested, I'll let them go for a pretty reasonable price. They're in new condition, and are a breeze to install.
