Default Road King handlebar question
The HD Road King handlebars all have a knurl center-to-center of 3.14". Will the touring bars with a 3.5" center-to-center still fit the Road King? I would like to install the Electra Glide bars on the Road King.

With the RK clamp cover, it shouldn't be an issue with 1" bars.

Thanks V-Rodder. Has anyone installed EG bars on a Road King? If so, what do they look like?

I think most go with heritage bars.

Do a search for Road King replacement bars, get a few beers and read. There are tons of suggestions and recommendations in different threads. Take a look at the Khromewerks Sweeper bars, they're a quality bar and at under $60.00, a steal. Nice finish, made in the USA too.
