Default Road King High Handelbars
Just finished up installing my new High handle bars. I think this is the Best $50.00 i have spent yet. No more back[:@] pain

Looks great......Higher bars aren't just to look cool, but actually put your arms at the right ergonomic height.

I was going to ask the same thing. If they are the HD RK High Handlebars (P/N 55954-00), those
are the bars I'm thinking about installing.

They worked out well for me, also. No more back pain. I ran the wiring inside the bars and really cleaned up the front of the bike. Finally, a bargain from the MOCO.

Neckball, did you install the HD RK High Handlebars (P/N 55954-00)? These are pre-drilled for the inside wiring?

That's the part number. These are not pre-drilled but they are dimpled at the controls. It was fairly easy to drill them at the dimples and then cut an oval opening in the center of the bars. Take your time, measure twice and cut once. De-burr everything carefully.

Did you need to get different brake/clutch cables or wire extensions? I'm thinking of doing this on my RK as well.

Thanks,
