Wild BillAce2:My Heritage type bars go back at the same rake as the stock bars and come back enough for me to ride in a comfortable position. I can see both of your Road Kings have the bars turned back while mine goes up the same angle as the forks. Works great.

Ok, been reading a lot here and will ask this question. Heritage style bar or chubby Wild 1's W0513's 8 1/2", 515's 10" or 502's 12 1/2". These will go on my 2010 Road King Classic. I'm 5'8" just over 200 lbs with a 30" inseam. Have no clue what my reach is. I'm leaning towards the 515's with the 10" rise. Give me the good the bad and the ugly. Thanks all.

A friend just put the Chubby 502's, 12 1/2" rise on his RK. Feels great, but I'm not sure I want to go that high. I actually like the height of the stock bars, I just need them to come back to me more. I don't want to have to roll the bars to me. I like the look of the straight line with the bar in line with the forks. Again I think I'm leaning to the 515's with 10" rise but if I like the lower height, the 513's with only 8 1/2" rise might be what I need. I guess I'm looking for people that have these on their bike and tell me what they think, ie. I have the 515's but wish I would have went higher, or I have the 513's and love them. Some pictures of what they look like on the bike would be great. Chubby's web site has a limited number of pics.

Right now I have the stock bars, and while they aren't too bad, they are a tad bit uncomfortable on longer runs. So I was just curious, will the 56902-08 bars also fit on older model RKs? I have an 06, so will they work with non throttle-by-wire systems too, or are they specifically designed for the TBW? And seeing as I am dealing with cables and not wires, will I have to replace the throttle cables? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
