Going along with the handlebar questions, on my 07 RKC, the color almost has a yellow tint to it. Are these chrome or no? I just thought it was an inferior chrome job. I'd like to put on fat bars retaining the stock shape, and hide wires.

I am going ape! Been looking around for a fat bar. All I can find is 1 1/4, but have heard there is a fat 1 1/2 bar out there with a 16" rise, anyone have a clue? I am 6'2" and figure these wont be to high, but as they say, the cooler you look the more uncomfortable you are. I will be doing the stainless lines, and want to switch out the controls to chrome. Saw that there is a chrome cover out there, anyone have anything to say about them.-PapaTravis

Anyway to get the Heritage Bars (the exact dimensions) AND get internal wiring?
I am not sure if H-D makes them and I am not too impressed with Wild1s (nice bars, but not what I am looking for).
can you drill into H-D bars for the wires?
Thanks,

You can. But the deminsion of the bars make it a tight fit, for going internal. A 1 1/4" bar, might be what you are looking for. I went with 1 1/4" x 18" apes. Works for me! I really like the street slammer bars. They are 1 1/4" thick, and can run internal wires.

I have a 07 Road King. The stock bars were my only complaint about the bike. They were terrible. For $59.00, I bought some stock Heritage bars. This was the best money I spent on the bike. They look real good, are very comfortable and I didn't have to change any wires or cables. It took longer to get that stupid riser cover off than it did to install the bars.

I have an extraset of the H-D 'chubby' Koad King bars...
They have the wiring harness extenders, allow for internal wiring and also have different risers to accomodate the larger bars.
PM me if you are interested.
I have the Wild1 'chubby' Beach Bars on the bike now - they are very comfortable.
