Max handle bar rise/pullback?
Max handle bar rise/pullback?
I'm wondering what the max, if any, handle bar rise / pull back cn be done on a 2009 Road King Classic, without needing to change out all the cables and electrical.
I really just need 2inches of pullback and 2 inches of rise to become very comfy in my deep bucket seat. I was considering going extreme into the 14" or 16" bars but all the extra costs are too much for me right now.
Thanks for whatever info you've got...

Changed my bars on my '10 RK and still not enough. Thinking about pulling everything off the ends and slipping a pipe over the ends and bending them. Stainless steel , shouldn't bother anything. If it doesn't work I'll just buy new at least if it works I save a little time and money. anyone ever done this?

You may want to consider Heritage "Style" bars (NOT Heritage bars). Book says they pull back about 3''. Had 'em on my '10 Road King FLHR and loved them. And a number of Road King riders have sat on the bike and commented on how much they liked the bar. $80 and no cable or wiring changes required. Part # 56902-08. However, if you're looking for "rise" in the bar, I don't think these would help much. Anyway, check out attachments below. Not perfect photos, but I tried to show some pics with the handlebars.

Thanks for the info and photos, the 3" pull back may do the trick for me, more or less I am almost comfortable if I hold just the VERY tip of the stock bars with my fingers versus palms...

HD#56902-08 Handle Bars
Dave, I just finished putting the HD#56902-08 Bars on my 2009 FLHRC. I picked them up from Zanotti's for $83 shipped, and they had them in stock. My buddy and I did the swap in around 2 1/2 hours. I couldn't save my left hand grip (Kuryakyn Iso Grip), but other then that the swap went nice. I went to my local HD Dealer in Sharon PA (Thunder HD), and Rhonda there helped me out and sold me just a left grip out of a kit there, and she ordered just one left side in to replace the one we stole from the kit. All of the original cables, hoses etc. all worked out and fit just fine.
It was raining yesterday, but I got to go for a nice ride it tonight, and so far I like them ALLOT
