I've a '10 Road King Classic and I love the look of those 09-11 heritage bars. Do you have the part number, and modifications needed to the bars for electronic throttle? I have cruise control on the '10. Dealer said it would need some modification but could make no recommendations. How does the clutch cable fit? Do you have a close up picture of the bars on your bike?

I'll chime in one more time. The stock RK bars suck. The "Heritage Style" bars for the RK IMHO suck. I sat on a 2011 Softail Heritage at my dealer & knew these were what I wanted. Very comfortable for ME!
The cost is low, (under $70) require a little modification for the TBW, & are very comfortable for a mini ape. They have approx. a 12" rise, allow you to use your stock TBW, stock clutch cable, & stock front brake lines.
Total cost of this set of bars is roughly $70 & about an hour or two dependent on your ability.
I will attach a photo I have posted before to show the wrist angle difference between the Softail Heritage bars & the "Heritage Style" bars. The Softail Heritage bars are in the plastic. BTW, just got another PM from a HD Forum member in regards to these bars. For the money, I don't think they can be beat!

2000 RK with what I think is 10" mini apes, not sure of it because they were on there when I bought it. Here's my problem though, I think they are very comfortable for sure, BUT if I make a slow speed tight turn I am stretching a little on the outside arm, and I sometimes like to ride without the windshield and I do not like the look of mini apes with out the windshield.
I would like to try Wild 1's 518's but am too cheep to buy them without knowing for sure if they will work for me. I want the low classic look for the whole bike but the thing is so comfortable the way it is I am afraid to lose that for looks.
