??handlebars??
I know it has been discused before but I couldnt find it so I will ask again...I am a tall rider (6'5") and ride a Road King Classic. What style of bars would be a better fit for me...I think that I need to go up and out but dont want it to look too odd. Any help would be appreceiated.

You could look at Wild1 bars. that's the route I went on my Street Glide to bring the feel up and out.

Try the Road King high bars. I used them when I had my RKC. They are about 4" higher and 2" narrower than stock.

stock bars may be a little close to the knees---didnt really notice it as much unless riding 2 up and the wife just started riding

A lot of guys use Heritage Softail Classic bars on their Road Kings, part # 56623-99, including me... they are a lot taller and a little wider than stock bars, go to your HD stealer, they should have a selection of bars, I set them up on the counter to mimic about how it would be on the bike, and take home the set that feels best to you.
Good luck

RE: ??handlebars??
No, you don't need to change any cables or lines with the Heritage bars. They are higher and you can put them as far forward as you need. Within reason. I put them on my RKC and rode a ton of miles at the HOG rally last weekend. No more back, shoulder pain. I've got the Sundowner seat, it's a great combination.
