Just in case anyone needed a visual comparison on the heritage style vs the heritage softail handlebars.
I had the Heritage "style" bars and went with the Heritage softail bars. They are a bit higher and the hand position is much better IMHO. Best handlebar upgrade without changing cables/wires/lines.
Photos:
Heritage style on my '11 road king and the stock heritage bars on the '11 Heritage softail.
And finally the heritage softail bars on my king.
*These will hold me over till I can go with the wild ones 12.5 or 14's but with ABS/TBW and clutch cable replacements it could be awhile yet.

The Heritage Softail bars fit the King without extending cables or wiring? I was told they wouldn't,dammit!
More comforatble bars are available in aftermarket (Wild 1s etc.). My curret pics are with 12.5s. I run 14s now- much more comfortable; about sternum high.
