Swapped out my stock bars on my 2009 Road King Classic for pre-wired 13 inch bars from Hill Country Custom Cycles (HCCC). Not too tough however I still need to swap out the bushings and change the clutch cable. I changed out the brake line with the longer one from HCCC however the stock clutch cable fits (sort of... ) so for peace of mind I will swap that out when I change our the bushings. Regarding not changing out the bushings during the swap, I did not have a jack so I could raise the bike on the lift to turn the wheel to get to the bolt... I was too uppity and once I saw that was the only way to do it I though screw it I'll just do it later. I can keep all wires and lines attached and pull the bars off to get the bushings swapped out later (at least I keep telling myself this...) Got a police seat put on so with the increase in seat height along with my height 6'4" (and shrinking) the new bars make a huge difference.
Installed Rockouts in my rocker support plates (09 RKC 96ci). Finished yesterday but didn't get to ride it around until today. Went for a spin for about 100 miles this morning am thrilled I'm no longer riding a sewing machine!
Took mine to Lowes to get a socket for the V&H air cleaner bolts. When I installed it I had to use an 8mm box wrench (it's a 12 point bolt). So I figured I'd use a socket next time I clean it to make it easier. I had to beat feet home as the rain was coming. Didn't get wet though!
I pushed my 12" apes more upright, my wrist was not liking how they were laid back the way they were. Went for a short ride and the angles seemed much better, I'll commute to work tomorrow 130 miles round trip, so that should see how comfortable they are now.

Hope it helps. Pushing apes forward to vertical was popular on choppers in the 70/80's. Some can't be adjusted as such, for obvious reasons. Perfect example. tp
Saw this one and had to share. Insane...... tp

Does this come with all the throttle by wire installed? I saw they had a 14" kit, I did not see a 13" They have a sale going on right now with 18% off. Their 14" complete kit is $923

Yup, throttle by wine came with bars. Great kit. Made it pretty easy to swap the bars.
