I replaced the stock bars with these on my 2009 RKC about four weeks ago. All I can say is wow. They are fantastic. Now I can lean back and relax while cruising. It also improved control of the bike especially in low speed maneuvers.
Some people complain that these bars hurt their wrists. I haven't had any problems at all. The longest ride I have done to date is about six hours and they were wonderful. I have them adjusted so they are tilted back almost as far as they will go. When I turn full lock I have about two inches between the bar and the speedometer.
I did not have to change any of the stock cables and the install was pretty easy and took about two hours taking my time.
This is a very good DYI for changing the bars -https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/687057-pictorial-installing-heritage-style-handlebars-on-a-2011-road-king.html
