I just put the 12" Wild1 502 on my 2010 RK and the grip angle is perfect. But I think they are a bit too tall. My hand position is about 2-3 inches below my shoulders. I know this is againast popular opinion, but I went with them for the pull back, not the height, and I'm thinking the Heritage bars might have been more to my liking.

Here are some pics:

Anyone have any experience with the more narrow outlaws? I love the grip angle but I cant find any Kings with them on.

Id like to hear what you guys think is better outlaws or reg 12 inch apes.. Im also looking at the 12' burly narrow apes..

Pics would be great an many thanks in advance.
I have the 09-11 Softail Heritage bars on mine. Part # in my sig if interested. I believe they're 13". BTW, cheap!
