Check out either the Wild 1 508's or 518's (depending on your height).

I'm 6' tall and my length of sleeves is 36"

thanks all for the help. I'm leaning toward the Wild 1 Chubbys - WO577B.

12.5 blacked out series. Next question, who to order longer cables from?

I'm 6'0". What bars would you recommend. 508 or 518?

Does anyone know if the Heritage bars are part # 56902 or # 55864 for a 2010 Road King - non classic? I keep hearing about the different bars for different years, and am really confused now ;-)

Well I just pulled the trigger on the Wild 1 Chubby W0577B. 12-˝" Bagger Apehanger 12-˝" Rise, 36" wide, 14" center, 11" pullback I've been slowly moving some of my accessory parts to black since I have a Vivid Black Ultra and the black bars will look great. They ship out today.

Now if I could find someone near Seattle who could help me put these puppies on

Good choice. I don't believe the 508s or 518s would be wide enough (center dimension) to fit on an Ultra.

Cables from Magnum, NAMZ for the wire extensions.
See my thread about WO577 install I did this weekend and do the job yourself.

ok, now that I've ordered the Wild 1 W0577B black bars, I need to change out the mirrors to black as well as levers. Any suggestion on a good set of black mirrors? I really do like the stock mirrors on my Ultra, so I'm trying to finds some that are similiar in black. Also, with the 12-1/2" bars, is it better to mount upside down?

Thanks all for your help and suggestions.

I just ordered my clutch, brake, and throttle/idle/cruise cables with 6+ extensions from Dr. V-Twin in black pearl braided. Also ordered new polyurethane handlebar bushings, and the Namz 12" control wire kits as well. I should be receiving everything by the end of next week. Time to review all the tips & tricks here on the board and the 07 Touring manuel.
