Need bar suggestions RKS
I'm 6'1 with a 34" inseam and have a '17 Road King Special. I rolled the bars back but I still feel like I'm leaning too far forward. I'm thinking bars that are 2" taller would do the trick, but I'm getting conflicting info on the height of the stock bars. I measured them at 10", but pics with 12" bars look like a drastic change. I've even thought about the WO501 bars that my wife has on her Fat Boy - good wrist angle, but I haven't taken the time to swap them as a test.
Anybody have pics with new bars installed?

I almost bought them Factory 47 bars with the meat hooks..They make a great bar. I ended up with the KST Kustoms 14" and saved $200. I'm 5'11 and with the stock seat my hands are even with the shoulders. I am really happy with them. There 1 1/4" where as the Factory 47 are 1.5" I believe, so there a little fatter bar. One modification you have to do with the KST is grind down the tab on the clutch and brake controller because they do not drill a hole in the bar for it.

14" bars on Road Glides probably don't need extended brake and clutch lines as they can reroute existing cabling to fit. They'd likely need extended control wiring though.
On the Road King you'l need both the extended control wiring (Harley do them as well as Namz etc)
You'll also need longer brake and clutch lines. I used +7 for my 16" KST bars so you'll need +5".
Good luck - they'll make a massive difference to your comfort!
