Hi Everyone! Has anyone changed the bars on a heritage and gone to something like RK Classic, street glide, or fatboy bars? Just curious cause I really don't like the mini type apes that are on the heritage. If you have, did you also have to change the cables because of too much slack?

Thanks a bunch for responding!!!

Actually, most people change from RoadKing bars to Heritage bars. RoadKing bars and fatboy bars are about the most uncomfortable I have ever ridden with.

But, to answer your question, I doubt you would have to change the cables. I went from Roadking bars to 2"pullback dresser bars on my '95 Roadking and didn't have to change anything. I also put 2" pullback dresserbars on the wife's Hertiage and didn't have to change anything.

I just changed out the stock bars with some 36" bikini beachs bars on my 90 Heritage. I did not have to change out any cables. I carefully tweaked the metal brake line to fit. I do wish that I did swap over to braided lines just for looks though. Otherwise I really like the beach bars over the stock.
