I had the 508's on my 97 RK, Loved them, When I bought the bike, it had beach bars on it and I am only 5'7" and they were way too wide. The 508's with at 32.5" width are perfect for the shorter folk. The wrist position is fine, I found it to be very comfortable on long rides. They also look great when you chrome out the front end, hide the wires and put on Briaded lines.

Hope this helps

I have the 502's on my RKC and lover it. Best mod i've made. Got the braided cables too and it looks sweet and is very comfortable. friend has the 8's and wishes he went with the 502s. No more shoulder and back pain. But I'm 6ft tall so may be different for you.
