I get helping the little guys, Im one of them in the car world. I called Wild1's today and they're closing today until the new year. Im ordering the 518 bars once they open up again. They were very helpful on the phone.
Here is picture of my 13 Road King. I had beach bars on bike before and liked them ... but with the Wild1 518's ... it made it even better. With the Burley beach bars I had before ... I would have to stick my leg out when I was making a tight corner in parking lot but not with the 518's.
Had factory stock HD beach bar on my RKC. Yes, You'll need extended cables. The set-up and handling is near perfect for me. Only negative setback is that on the cold days, Your hands will freeze w/o question.

I have beach bars on my Road King with stock cables. One thing that really helped was putting the throttle /front brake side on the bars before bolting them down. This gives you a lot more room without trying to stretch the throttle cable and brake line around the end of the handlebar.
