Hello,
I just purchased an '07 Rk. I had the optional (taller)RK chrome handlebars installed prior to picking it up. Couldn't stand the stock bars(rise to low). Not sure I like the wrist placement though. Whatare the biggest differences between the Hereitage bars and the Rk bars? Is therise the same? Is the pullback the same? Can the stock cables, wire harness and brake lines be used or do they have to be extended or changed?
Thanks for the info,
John
I passed on the Heritage bars because I felt they were too narrow. So I bought the RK extended reach bars and am real happy with them. They brought the hand controls back to me and give me a wider spread for controlling the sidecar. I 5'10' and can now sit up straight and not have to reach forward.
All the existing cables fit, did not have to buy any.
