Default Wild 1 508's in the mail for my RK!!
Can't wait! I, (like many others) cannot stand the stock handlebars on my '09 Road King. I finally made the decision to go with the Wild 1 WO508 bars (also called the "RK bars"). I wanted to wait for a blemished set of bars, but the guys down there said they would send a brand new set (not blemished) TODAY and pay for shipping. I couldn't pass it up. Waiting for the blemished bars would have saved about $25...I would have to pay for shipping. I will post pics and a review when installed.

Can't wait for the pics and the review. Considering changing the bars on my '10 RK, but not 100% sure. The stock ones don't bother me, but I wouldn't mind having the bars up a little higher.

I just ordered the WO575's for mine so I share in your anticipation. I want to take my time mine will be a "winter" project.

Wow, they've already come in...I ordered about 24 hours ago by phone, showed up at the doorstep tonight. The guys were very helpful. I hope to have them on soon and I'll get the pics and reviews out there.

I put the Wild 1 518s on my 2010 FLHRC and they make a world of difference.

I will put them on as soon as my new grips come in. Just found out they are on back order for another 2 weeks. AWESOME.

I have them, and I've had them on two other scoots. I absolutely love them. Hope you do too! They've really served me well. My ridin' buddies call em wheel barrow handles... But they are so comfortable, I don't care what they call em.
