I had the Heritagebars put on mine but didn't like 'em. I went with the wild1 508s and am satisfied. I think I'd be happier with the 518s though. Did have to change throttle/idle cables though.

 

I got mini apes and they are sweet. Nice position for long rides that allow me to let my arms hang in a relaxed position. I did not like the stock bars on the RKC at all. You have to be sure that you figure in where your seat puts you. A seat that moves you forward or back can mess up any suggestion about which bars are more comfortable. If you have a seat you love then it's about finding the bar that fits you. I have long arms and the mini apes work great for me.

 

+1 on this. The choice and advice is spot-on.

 

Seems to me, the easiest thing (and possibly cheaper, too, due to the cost of new cables, etc.) would be to drop an H-D "Reach" seat on that sucker...

 

Exactly what he said. I had a set on my 2000 RKC and you can't beat them for comfort and looks, IMHO.

 

I'm 5' 10 and I put on the Road King High Bars. The book says they don't fit but they do. $49 bucks, no cables or wires to replace but you have to bend the brake line just a little. I love mine. Made a world of difference.

 

any problems with road king high chrome bars with ABS and cruise controls? in the web site sais it dosent fit ABS models but dont know why...

 

Like so many others, I put the Heritage bars on mine and it made a world of difference.
