Man I know there has been a lot of threads on bars lately, I've read most of them. Going into this winter mod time, my mind was made up on Wild 1 518's. Then the ape threads grabed my attention. Apes really didn't interest me, but now I'm really liking the looks and comfort 12 maybe 14". +2 sweepers from Khrome werks are looking good too. I'm headed to a few Harley dealers to check out as many bars as I can, If I could get you guys to post a few more pic's and thoughts on the bars I talked about on a road king, that would help a lot. I'm installing the bar myself so cable, brake line, tbw, and wire extention info would help also

Hey I put the +2 from chrome werks on and I ended up replacing them with the Wild 1 Chubby's. Here is a pic of the Wild 1's vs stock. I dont have a pic of the +2's but they really werent enough of a difference than the stock bars for me. Go with 12 or 14 apes you wont regret it...
Mine are on an Ultra so not sure about the cables and such for your bike. Hope this helps.
*edit found some +2 pics...
Stock and +2's

Here are the WO 572 14" these will also work on a Road King. Bagger bars will not work on a RK. With the 14" bars I went +8 namz wires, +8 Magnum clutch cable, and Magnum brake line (3/8" 90 degree 29").
