I have an '05 Road King. Does anyone know how tall I can go with handlebars in order for me to not replace all the cables? I sat on a Heritage Softail once and I really like the feel of that height. Thanks

RK Heritage bars worked for me... only cable extension needed is if you have TBW. About 75.00 and a couple hours work to change em out

throttle by wire or electronic throttle control instead of using a traditional throttle cable.... I don't believe that they 05's are equipped with electronic throttle control so you should be ok.

I put 10" mini apes on my 05 RK and didn't have to change anything.
