Default Looking for handlebars

I saw a few Road Kings a couple years back at bike week in Myrtle Beach with some handlebars that I fell in love with but can't find anywhere. At least I haven't realized it was them if i have. They were a wider bar but what set the bike off was how low to the tank they were. Really had that great retro look which is what I'm after since I'm doing a hand shift/foot clutch set up. I've tried everything from long horns to bikini beach bars but none of them have worked with out the hand controls hitting the tank when I try to adjust them as low as what I saw on the bikes down there. These looked similar to beach bars but were wider coming out of the risers and came back pointing more toward the rider than the overall wider spread of the beach bars. Does anyone have a clue about what I'm talking about or where I can find them? I've spent hours, litterally, searching every manufacturer and google images trying to find them with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like they could have been the Wild One 508's if the grips looked like they were pointing straight back. The Wild One 518's can be lowered close to the tank as well and the controls will just barely clear it.

I have the 508's on my RK...Love 'em!! Call the guys at Wild One...(800)337-8870. They are a huge help. Use the search option on this forum, there is a lot of good advice and pics. I just posted a thread and pics of my 508's yesterday. Good luck, Sir.

I think there are at least a couple of Hamster bikes with bars like I think you are describing. Google them.

They didn't have as much rise as the 518's and the bends were more fluid than the 508's. The 508's are the closest thing I've found yet.
