Default WO 518 FOR ROAD KING CUSTOM


THINKING OF BUYING WO518 WILD ONE CHUBBY'S HANDLEBAR FOR MY ROAD KING CUSTOM
I AM 6 FEET AND HAVE A CORBIN DUAL TOURING SEAT (the original handlebars have to much pullback with the corbin seat)
HAS ANYONE CHANGED FROM ORIGINAL TO WO518 , DO YOU HAVE LESS PULLBACK WITH THE CHUBBY'S AT THE MOMENT I HAVE TO LEAN WAY BACKWARD TO HAVE A COMFORTALE ARM POSITION THIS CAUSES BACKPAIN

I have 518's on my Heritage. They are considerably farther back from stock. Mine had Roadking/Fatboy bars on it originally.

Have 508's on my '01 RKC and 518's on my Sons '05 RK - I'm 6'4" and he has a Corbin Dual Tour & I have the Sundowner on the King... I like his 518's much better but you'll have to change you lines and cables...

Also interested in the 518s and at 6' with a 35" sleeve length wondering if they would have enough pull back for me to bend my arms settinguprightandlean against my back rest with my feet on the road pegs comfortably.
