Mantele or Wild 1 Beach Bars 2014 RK Classic
G'day,
Just picked up near new 2014 RK Classic and want to change bars to give it the lowest and ol skool profile as possible (chubby style)
Ive narrowed it down to the following:
Mantele Beach Bar
35 1/4 Width, 10 1/8" Pullback, 2 7/8 Rise
Wild 1 Chubby Beach Bar
3.5" rise, 36" wide, 10" center, 15"pullback, 60° wrist angle
Ive searched the forums to see if anyone has either on a 2014 RK with no luck so Im going public to see if anyone has experience with either and some photos.
Some considerations:
Im 5ft 9" (I know Im a shorty)
2014 bars seem to be like mini apes, will I still have to get extended cables and wiring harness?
In Australia so options limited.

Further to my original thread,
Hi Road Dog,
I contacted Klock Werks. They suggested the King Mantele as they said it is specifically designed for the RK.
They said if I went with the standard Mantele, I would have to slightly lift the bar up losing a bit of low profile feature to it.
Whats your thoughts of the two? I want the lowest profile possible but not where the controls will hit the tank.
