I have WO502's (12.5") and love them. I went +6" on all of the cables. I probably could have gone +4" on the throttle but they're fine.

I had WO518's and hated them. Couldn't stand trying to make a tight turn and they hit my knees.

Then I went to 504's which are awesome bars for a Road King. Kind of like a cross between Beach bars and Fatboy bars.

Thanks

I'm in the process of changing my current bars to 11" Santee Apes.
Right now I have the Wild-1 518's (RKII bars) which are great bars; I've had this set-up on my last two bikes. (Not these bars, but this set-up!)
I'm just looking for a change, as it's been over 5 years now! LOL

Anyway, these give you great hand position, with a nice pullback, and allow you to use stock controls.
They also are much better than the original RK bars (WO508's).


PM me if you're interested in these bars.... they will be available shortly.

I know these are not on the list, but I'm getting ready to put on WO576 14" black bagger apes on my SG. I think I'll like them.

I have 518 (RKII). I find myself leaning forward. Maybe the 508's would have been a better fit for me?
