Which Handlebars?
I still have a Dyna and because i travel a lot i've been in touch with local dealer so...i'm going for a Roadking.
I recently drove one and i was... a-ma-zed! I never liked the Familyman look of touring models but...i changed my mind.Genuine MILE EATERS!
The only thing i din't like was the Roadkings stock handlebars. They felt kinda... average...normal...
I do like beachbars. The way they lower your arms and keep them open...
I checked the thread about bars on Tourings, but i couldn't get answers...
I'm 6 ft tall.
Would the original HD big handlebars bent me forward?
What's the difference between them and the narrow ones in riding position?
I'll install a driver's backrest to lean back, so propably i'll need something with a decent pullback correct!
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

I have an '09 RK and stayed with the stock handlebars. I'm 5'9" and ride in a more upright position, so they fit me pretty good.
Since you are taller than me and looking for a more pulled back riding position, perhaps you could consider the heritage handlebars. They would give you an additional 3 inch pullback over the stock bars. My stealer told me I could swap to the heritage bars and re-use all the stock cables and hoses.
I don't know if this is true or not, but thought I'd pass it along.
