New Handlebars
Looking to purchase a new set of handlebars. Main reason is diameter so I can hide all the unnecessary cables, etc. then make the clutch and brake mesh. I dont' mind the position of the stock handle bars but I see a lot of threads that reference Heritage Handlebars. Any negative feedback?

I'd suggest you sit on a bike with Heritage bars to see if you like the wrist angle - many don't. I had them on my Road King, and while they were an improvement over stock, the wrist angle wasn't the greatest.
I have a set of Wild1 515s on my Road Glide and really like 'em.

I have 2007 a Road King Classic. Angle on the stock bars are a little awkward for me. I would like a grip where my wrists were more perpendicular to the front tire. Or straight versus cocked outwards. When Im out for a 400 mile ride the more comfortable the better and my hands are one thing that i have to stretch out quite often.

I found the angle better (more perpendicular to line of travel), but some might not. The full posting is here

Here's a new pic, taken today, that shows the angle and position of my heritage style bars on my RK.
