10" Chubby apes, 4+ on brake, throttle, idle, 3+ on clutch. They are high quality bars and Wild Ones has great support.

By the way, installing the Chubby's on my Road King was much easier than on my Street Glide. I did my Road King in a day, but my Street Glide took me 3 days. If you're interested, here is a link to post I did a while back about installing the Chubby's on my Street Glide.

Wild1makes agreat bar. Good quality and styling. I have the 508 on my RKC and it the most comfortable bar have ever used while driving. Only problem is with the wider stance bar it has a tendency to get into your hip. Makes the bike a little meaner to handleparking etc with the bars at lock. Not a real problem for me but it is noticeable.

Ditto on my Street Glide. I also had them on my Road King Custom. This mod is one of those rare win-win deals, you get both form and function. Like a poster above said, it's not a cheap mod, especially if you change out the cables too (highly recommended). The results are worth it though.

Got any photo's of the 575's on your RK Custom... I thought about those but wasn't sure how they'd look..

575s on the EGlide. Stock clutch length, 4" longer upper brake was just about right, 6" longer throttles were a bit too long but I re-routed and made them work. I did not run the wires internally so I did not have to change them out. I didn't get a chance to compare to stock as they were bent when I got the bike and imediatley put on the Wild 1s.
