That is a pretty dramatic drop from 16" to 8" or 10". Test some out before buying. Wild One 577's are 12.5" and may do the trick for you.

True. I just got the bike and feel like I can't control it as well. I did go for a 100 mile ride today. But still feel a little uncomfortable. 12.5s might do the trick. Thanks

My '12 Road King is in the shop getting Wild 1 chubby 502's (12.5") installed. Check Wild1inc.com website. They have many photos of customers bikes with Wild 1 bars on them.
