I prefer a slight forward lean when I ride.

Marsh,

My bike has the 518's on it.&nbsp\\; Don't forget those Chubby Beach Bars...they're pretty nice too.

Yeah, the beach bars are nice, but I think I want something with less pull back. Leaning towards the 504 Knuckle's.

I just added the Wild1 508 to my Road King. The only difference to the 518&nbsp\\;are that&nbsp\\;the 508 aren't as wide. I am 5'9" and there is much more pullback than with the stock bars. The other bars you may want to consider&nbsp\\;are the RK Screaming Eagle bars that didn't seem to have as much pullback.

Now we're talking. I put some SE mini beach bars on my Heritage and they were perfect.

Son has 518s and I have 508s on my 01 RKC. Like the fit of the 518s on his 05 RK better. Wrist is twisted a bit with the 508s.
