2008 roadking help
I am a big guy 6'3" tall 285pound riding a roadking that i love very much, its been a solid bike to me just did a thunderheader exhaust and intake with some foglights also... now i am feeling a bit squished on long rides I think I need some new handlebars something a little bit taller so i am stretched out a little bit .. but i don't know if i should go with 10" or 13" bars and if you have any pictures please post so I can see what they would look like thanks...
I am a big fella as well for me moving my but back as changing the seat helped me the most.

6'2" stick-man here with an '07 FLHR. Real pleased with:
1) H/D Wide Glide mini-apes (up and in a couple of inches but no new cables required - just a slight re-bend on brake tubing) and...
2) Mustang solo seat (down and back some with better tail bone room too).
Feels like I'm into the scoot now and not squatting on top of it anymore.

I too am a big ole boy. 6'2", 290#. I changed out the stock seat. It had me pushed up way too close.

None that would do a good job for what you need and unfortunately going nuts today (wife fresh from minor surgery this afternoon and a kid with the flu too).
Sure can take some by this weekend though. Will email them to you when I get them since I'm an illiterate pic poster
