for me the handling wasn't an issue... the joint pain on the other hand.... that's what i had to fit to ease the strain and stretch.
that's what i love about harleys.... we can all compare one model, but we might have 10 things different on each one that fits the rider!

Took me awhile and I finally changed to Heritage Style bars and that was really night and day for me personally. I installed an Ultra seat for my wife's benefit ( I like the stock seat) and I think it moved my forward a little. I also put on the floor board extender and high way pegs and now I am set.
Its amazing how tall the seat is even for taller folks. I am 6' and sometimes reach for the ground if the road is not flat.
Good luck.

I know what you mean Mike, I loved my stock RK seat but I need a backrest or I cant ride very far and it looks like **** with just the rider backrest and just as ugly with a pass one directly behind it.....

Someone mentioned go to the dealer and they have a fit shop where they have a bike you can swap bars and seats to see what you like.... But they also have a Demo seat program. They have seats they will put on your bike and let you take it out for a ride to see how you like it. They are usually stamped with orange "demo" on them. I'm not sure if you leave your seat there or if you just leave a depost. Swapping a seat on a Road King takes about 3 Minutes.

I'm currently riding it more to see what I'd like to change it seems different on each ride, but at the same time becoming more familiar. Sometime I think a good long ride would sort things out faster.
