The KST bars have a natural wrist angle and feel as well and both companies make the same style to fit your RK and they're both around the $200 mark. Below is a pic of 10" Twin Peaks I installed for a friend.

Buddy and I rode bout 115 miles to Black Wolf HD in Bristol, Tn as their sister store in Wytheville, Va said they carried a nice selection of bars. I looked at what they had on display and just couldn't find exactly what I was looking for but did like the KST Kustoms, especially for the price. Then the guy said hold on and let me check in back. He came out with a 12"/1 1/4" set of bars by KST I couldn't leave without. They wanted $195 but got him to knock $10 off and no sales tax in Tn. Pretty sure I am gonna be a mighty happy camper. Just gonna have to see what cables I am gonna have to replace. Pretty sure the throttle cables at least and the Magnum Shielding cables ain't none too cheap. Sure beats the PY bars by about half the price and look pretty darn close.

Well I'm rather biased but I think they look better than the PY MBB's. Don't know if he told you are not but these bars have a lifetime cosmetic warranty on the polished stainless. Not sure about their black bars. I hope you love em as much as I do mine.

These guys have the least expensive bars I've found. They now have 1.25" bars. http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Americ...andlebars.html

I just sold my 14 inch yaffe bars for a pair of HHI 1 1/4 14 inch bars. They are also an inch and half taller. Yaffe measure from bottom to the peak. HHi measures from bottom to where the bars actually are so they are taller
