Now that I see the 508's on a RK, I must say they remind me of the stockk RK Custom bars, but with more of an angular look. They are sweet looking and they shine better than the stock bars!

508's are too much inward for me and it looks like it will make your wrists hurt after a while.

MAN! After seeing those pics, OUCH! To each his own I guess. That's just not natural looking. When I am relaxed, my arms, wrists, everything would not want to be in that position. They are shiny though!

Big Ted's comment is precisely why I'm going to the 518s. After an hour or so, my right forearm begins a dull aching. I believe it's due to the bar angle and the tension created by the throttle. Others seem to be able to ride all day with these suckers, but my body geometry (or age?) just won't allow it. I'm hoping the wider reach and decreased angle of the 518s will cure the problem.

Here are some pictures of my 518's...I will try to get some better ones later this week if someone wants them.
