Default Handlebars

I thought I had a good idea what I wanted to do. I picked up a set of Wildone 513's for my RG for a decent price. I had seen
a set on another RG. They looked good on it and they felt real comfortable so I got some. Well I got the bike torn down and
thought I'd do a mock up and it looked and felt pretty dam good. Then I thought about some 508's I had sitting there from my
old bike and thought what the hay, I'll give them a shot. They look great ( I loved them on my heritage ) and feel like old
friends. Now I'm in a dilemma. I sure don't want to have to tear this down again. I thought maybe the wife will let me put
the 513's on her heritage. I know they'll look great there.

What'd ya think?

IMHO you should use the 508s and sell me the 513 for that decent price you got them for and we will both be happy

i think the 513s look the best but i think your comfort is more important

Which ever bar is more comfortable to you. I'm a small guy, 5'8", needed more height and pullback in a handlebar. I went with the 513 on my 08 RG and haven't regretted it.

Those 513's look good on your RK.
