RE: Advice on Handle Bars
The stock '07 RK Classicbars were a significant pain in the back/shoulders for me on long rides. Replacedthe stock barswith HD PN 55908-04. I think they are the stock bars from a RK Custom but I don't remember. I just remember that I found them by trying out a bunch of '07 touring modelson the dealers showroom floor till I found ones that were comfortable. They are perfect for me.

Hey guys need some help or advice. My stock bars make my shoulder hurt and my right hand go numb after awhile. The angel of my wrist I think is part of it.
I would like some advice on a set of bars where I am not reaching as far and bring my wrist to a more normal position.
I now sit back and wait for all of your wonderfull wisdom

Another option that doesn't require a change of cables or brake lines is the Road King "High Bar" or "Pullback Bar." Both names have the same part number in the HD catalog. I am very pleased with them after struggling for comfort with the original bars on my Classic. They are often shown on the tricked out models at the beginning of the accessories section of the parts book for touring models.

From the looks of the bike in your signatureyou have the same height bars that were on my '96. I found them to be too tall and just like you was experiencing back and shoulder pain.
Checked at my local shop andthe Road King came with 2 different height bars. I went with the lower set (similar or the same as what is on my brothers '03). Feels great now and the bike handles and turns much better than with the taller set.

I have a set of 513 Chubbys on my RKC. (Baby Apes) Initially I thought they would be a problem getting used to steering-wise, and on my first semi-long ride I felt a bit of discomfort between the shoulders. I had never experienced this in the past with the stock bars.
After a few weeks now, I don't even think about them, and on that return ride home the following day I had no shoulder issues, and haven't since.
If I have a complaint, the bends in the 513s are pretty tight and I found it difficult to fish the wiring harnesses through them. I also had to extend the stock harnesses by about 6 inches. (the pic below is NOT them)
