Thumbs up

Since yesterday I have the Wild1 WO518 on my 2010 RK Classic --> since that time i do not want to downswing from my Road King --> the bike changed completely to the best!

I am 178 cm or 5' 10" tall. Now I can sit up straight and my arms are not extended. The feeling for the bike is perfect.

- Clutch, brake and TBW --> no extension needed (only the way of the brake line should be relocate)
- Wires for the switchers left and right --> extension should be about 4"


sorry for my english --> i am not a native speaker

Hi nice bike, I also have a 2009 RK FLHR and had also install a HD chopped tour pak. I noticed that my handle bar wobble between the speed of 60 to 80 kpm when I release my hand off the handle bar abit. (only with the tour pak installed). Do you experience this issue too?

Still looking for correct solution on my 09 RKC. At 5' 9" with 33 inch sleeve and 30 inch inseam and Sundowner seat, the WO518 bars leave a little to be desired. Has anyone, with my measurements, tried the 518s with risers? As is, the old pain between the shoulders is intollerable and I tend to ride one of my Hondas while the RK sits. I didn't buy my first Harley to have it gather dust.. Any help will be highly valued...

I have had 518s on my Fatboys and Road Kings for several bikes now. I loved them all. My current Road King has 508s instead. I rode a friends bike and love them. I am only 5'10" with 32 inch inseam and 34 sleeves. I have a Memphis shades Batwing that looks and functions great with htese bars set parallel to the fork tubes for best handling. I used to ride crotch rockets and really like to make my HDs handle. I use Silkoline in both forks and rear Air shocks and love to grind my floorboards. These bars give me the feedback I need from the road and my Metzlers to be very comfortable.

I'm 5'8" with a 29" inseam, not sure about sleeve length and I have 502's with a stock seat and they are extremely comfortable for me. The way I have them positioned puts my hands at or just below shoulder level, depending how much I slouch. I probably could've gone with 14" but I'm planning on getting a seat that sits me lower to the ground and I didn't want my hands too far above shoulder level. Might be worth a try using risers but you will probably have to change out your brake and clutch lines and control wires. If that's the case you might as well get new bars.

I was all ready to sign myself up for beach bars, as they go pretty well with the look of my RKC but me and the bike took an unexpected trip down to the pavement. With all the replacing that was going on I went for the 502's. Lots and lots of black accessories too. I'll have pictures up soon.
