They felt to me like I was riding a whell barrow! I had to lean fwd and the hand position was awkward.

 

sorgys rocks. i've bought a bit of stuff from him. never any problems.

 

I agree with Sam's very knowledgable advice;some like the 508s and some prefer the 518s depending on height and arm length. You can give the folks at Chubbys a call or send them a email tosee which barwould work best for you, it won't cost you a dime.
Good luck with your decision.

 

I will diffenetly try out the website,Thanks Skratch,I think it would be a good time to go to braided cables,I took my lights off the bars so won't worry about running them through the bars.I did'nt like the lights on the bar look.Put a light bar on the front.like the standard RK's have.I have narrowed it down to 2 or 3 bars now,Thanks for all the help

 

Hasanyone tried the Burly Brand bikini beach bars? I had them on my last two Roadstars and they felt great, I want to put a set of bars off of the Screaming Eagle RK on my 06 RK Custom but i have been told they wont work.

 

I put Wild One's WO550 Beach Bar on my RK Custom a couple of years ago. Very different (improved)than the stock bars which are not really beach bars. I haven't had any issues with hitting the tank or gas cap or any vibration concerns. You do have to keep your knees out when making tight turns. I use a Corbin classic solo seat and backrest which puts the rider further back from the tank, and I don't have any problems with the bar pullback; however, I've got pretty long arms. I really like the quality that Wild One provides - got them on three bikes.

 

I switched out the beach bars that were on my RKC for a couple of years and went with the Wild 1's 518's...I sure liked the looks of the BB's but the new ones are sure abit more comfortable...and they're good looking in their own right.

Also,no more shooting pain in the middle of my back with these new bars.

Ride safe.

 

I've got a set of 1 1/4" beach bars on my custom, I'm seriously thinking of going to a set of bars with a little more rise, and a little more pull back, slow turns for me are a pain.
