Default Stock handlebar measurements on a 2012 Road King

I am getting a 2012 Road King and really need to know the measurements of the stock bars on the bike.(specifically rise, pullback and width). After test riding the bike I think I will need more pullback and I do like a higher bar. Anyone know?
Thanks

Don't know the measurements of stock Road King handlebars, just know they're too wide and make you lean too far forward. I had a 2010 RK and I put Heritage Style bars on it. Book says they pull back 3'' more than stock.

Part#56902-08. 1'' diameter stainless steel. I think they can be installed without wiring or clutch cable mods. It will be the best $80 you spend.

See Road King w/Heritage Style bars attached.

Thanks. I will look into those. What solo seat do you have there, it looks great.

I never rode mine with the stock bars. Had them chaged out before mile 1.

That's a Mustang Vintage Solo seat. It's the most comfortable seat I've ever rode. It's an all day seat.

I just replaced the stock bars on my 2010 RK. The MoCo used the same bars on the 2011, but I do not know if they are still using it on the 2012. It's pn 55947-08. Rise is 7", pullback is 7" and width is 31.75".

Take a look at WO 502.

Mike
