Stock RK bars
Hi there. New hombre here, and I just got a new '07 FLHR. Traded my Electra Glide I got last year. Thought I was melting the motor on the way home, so I bought a PC III for it, and I'm gonna try that out.
I'm happy with the bike, but the stock bars have to go. What is everybody using on their Road Kings for bars?

RE: Stock RK bars
I am glad I saw your post. I was about to ask a similar question. I need to bring the bars a little further back as I have to reach for them. Is there an adjustment to them as is or do I have to buy a part or a whole new set of bars.
If I need a whole new set of bars... back to King FLH's original question.
King, I don't want to hijack your thread but we have a similar question.

A lot of people put heritage classic bars on their road kings, they work out real nice and you don't have to change your cables. Those bars that Pastor John has look great, I'd like to try a set of those. They have that nostalgic look to me that the rk deserves.

Just put a set of RK Custom Bars on my Classic. I really like the feel. Was able to use all my original cables and brake lines, too. Sorry, I don't even have a picture yet.

RE: Stock RK bars
I put Heritage bars on my RK Classic...
- Stock cables work
- better angle for the hands and slightly higher (I'm 6'2")
- Easy on & off... took all of 45 mins to swap them out
- I believe they were around $50 at the Stealer
On edit: L3ft2, you can rotate the bars forward or aft after you loosen the bolts under the center chrome cover.

Wild 1 bars, either 508's or 518's, they're not cheap, but they are worth every penny. You can get them on ebay for about $170 US. they use all your stock cables.
