07 Roadking handlebars changed
I changed out my Handlebars on my 07 Roadking this past weekend, HD part # 56569-86 Heritage Classic bars, tip width 31, base width, 11.5, rise 8.5, pullback 8. I did all the work myself (little help from my wife)
, the job was not very hard but did take a couple hours. I used a 07 service manual and got some good information from http://www.moccoplace.com/images/harley/hbar/hbar.htm. All the original wires fit great without change out and the old handlebar grips do not need to be replaced, just be patient. My wife pulled off the left grip by twisting it back and forth until it came loose (only took a few minutes). You can go buy some griplock to put the grip on the new bars, if no griplock use epoxy or superglue. The longest part of the bar replacement is sitting on the bike after you partially tighten the allen bolts holding the handlebars to get an exact placement of where you want to permenantly want to bars placed (i took a half hour sitting on the bike to make sure of where i wanted them placed). The bars put me back so I am sitting straight up, they are very comfortable, well worth them. I advise everyone to do the work themseles, it's not very hard to to, just takes a couple hours, you will also save $300 to $400 from installation cost from MOCO doing the work (buy chrome instead).
