Wild1Chubby bars??? Beach Bars???
Hello guys, I am considering changing my stock Road King handlebar to a Wild 1 Chubby WO504 or something similar. Can you guys who are using either a beach bars or a Wild 1 Chubby WO504 or WO508 post some pics of your Road King? I am trying to get a better/more (pullback) comfortable riding position since I am not a tall guy. Pictures and comments will certainly help a lot! Thanks in advance!
Best Regards.

I'm running the HD beach bars. This is about the best picture I have of them, but they dont tell much. A lot of people say they dont like them because they feel like theyre pushing a wheelbarrow. I dont feel that way, but I understand why others would think that.

Road King custom bars...
Thank you very much guys! I am only concerned and definitely don't want to sacrifice comfort/wrist position for the looks! In other words... I was told that certain Wild 1 Chubbies could be very painful after a couple of hundred miles rides and I don't want that! So far I have three preferences and they are the Chubby WO504, the WO508 and the RK OEM Tall handlebar. Please keep the pics and comments coming! It is much appreciated!

RK Handlebars...
Thanks 2kids3pets, I don't know your height but I am not a tall guy (5'7") so my concern here now with the 518's is the wrist angle. Is it a normal open relaxed feel? or is it more like a 45 degree brutal angle for long rides?
Once again, thanks!
