Not sure if 2011 Road King bars are any different than others ( they dont look it ) .. But I love the stock bars on mine ..

 

Inexpensive route - heritage bars = no wiring or cable changes and you may or may not like the riding position.

Expensive solution (for me) - wild one 10" mini apes (515) = internal wiring, +2 clutch and +4 brake cables, switch wire extension, throttle extension not needed. Great clean look, added chrome controls and diamondback cables. Very comfortable.

 

I've been thinking about going to apes in Dec. I'm thinking 14 or 16 but I don't want my hands above my shoulders. You guys with 16s, how do they fit ya?

 

I just got my Heritage style bars on today and its like night and day. Any bar you chose will be better then those stock ones

 

Where you guys getting these Heritage bars from? Has there been a rash of bike wrecks?

 

When I spoke to tech support I was told the only mod required for the 10's was control wiring extensions. ETC, brake lines, & clutch cable are suppose to be uneffected. Is this NOT right?

 

I put Wild One 517 (and new cables) on my '07 Road King, work well on long cruises...

Thanks,
Rod

 

I think I am one of about three people on the planet who actually likes the stock RKC bars (and seat).

 

Heritage Style Handlebar part #56902-08. I don't think these bars are the same ones found on the Heritage motorcycle.

I bought my package from hdbikeparts.com (Johnny Vaughn). The clutch and brake extended cables is what they recommend. Even at +4 on the brake line, its a little snug but works. Maybe could have got away with stock clutch but took their advice as I wanted new braided cables anyway. Definitely need switch wire extensions. The ETC wire has plenty of slack in the nacelle so I didnt need that. You can get the ETC extension that eliminates the green connector and makes it easier to fish thru bars but not required.
