I have a set of Herritage bars used less than one year. Had them on my '08 RK. Change my riding comfor the better for sure. Bars are factory notched for TBW. I have since upgraded to an '11 Ultra Classic. Doing so left me with some '08 RK accessories. Seller is motivated. PM me if anyone's interested.

Default 09-11 Softail Heritage bars

Okay, so how much rise and pull back is there compared to the 2011 RKC factory bars?

I think my factory RKC bars are pretty much okay- but if there was a way to get that little bit extra comfort.... that would be great. Got a riders backrest coming so that my be a help.
I got some tendonitis and hand wrist issues.

thanks

The best suggestion I could give anyone on handlebars for a Roadking would be go sit on a new Heritage Classic. I was sold on them
up Good luck!

I have a 2011 Road King.

I rotated the stock handlebars forward, lifting the grips. They work just fine for me.
