There should be a chart on the Harley web site and in the parts catalog.

Before I post this here is my disclaimer and how I got these numbers. I have a 2005 Road King Classic. I think the bars are the same. On page 617 of my catalog it has a part number (55919-82T) which is the same as the OEM bars except they are chrome. On page 616 they list the dimensions of 55919-82T as:

Tip to Tip 32.5"
Base Width 14.25"
Rise 5.75"
Pull Back 9.0"

I hope this helps.

I have found HD measures their bars differently than some other sites.

I have installed the 508's on my RKC - I have posted pics of them here several times and I'm sure the guys are getting sick of them. I can send them to you if you want. PM me.

All,

Thanks for your replies, it looks like I'll most likely be going with the 508.

I went with HD's wide beachbars--they are somewhere around 35 or 36" on the outside of the grips. The internal wiring was a nice touch and they put on oversized grips. Really complements the Custom's already swept, low and aggressive look. Also very comfortable to ride.
