Wild 1 517 bars for RK
I've read quite a few opinions about the Wild 1 517 bars. Most of the review were from riders that were about 6'0 or bigger. I'm 5'9 and my biggest complaint with the stock RK bars is with my short arms I was hunched forward too much. I decided on the 517's because they were not too wide to stretch me out during tight turns. They seemed to have good rise and pullback for my size. I wish they were a tad wider but they seem like they should work. Has anyone my size tried these bars? thanks

See my post. I'm the same height as you and am reaching for the bars. I've heard the heritage bars are better, but if you want the 1 1/4 inch bars, the wild one's are the choice. Not familiar with these bars though.

I have the 518's now and will be going to the 17's soon. My friend has the Heritage bars and there pretty good too. I'm 6'1" with short arms..........32" reach, and the stock RK bars pulled me forward too.
