2017 Road King Beach Bars

With my 518's at full lock on the steering it just clears the tank and stock cap / fuel gauge with the angle I have mine mounted at. 550's (if lower like a drag bar) might clear with the flush caps but you might also have to roll the bars up if the rise is less. I wanted my bars tilted down for a comfortable grip angle (and it looks cool) so the slightly higher rise allowed that comfort for me and cap clearance. Seems like a simple upgrade to a bike but there are so many variables.
