I don't know which is my inseam but I am 1,80m tall!
6'4"
Sundowner. I am adding heritage bars.
Seat looks great...kinda has a soft tail feel compared to stock and is trimmed for RKC match.

I'm 5' 10" and have Sundowner seat, Road King extended bars from HD (simular to Heritage) and extended Footboards, well sorted on my Road King.

Had decided to go with the Sundowner seat!

About the handlebar, is good to know that for the Heritage Style Handlebar there is no need to change the cables! And about the Reduced Reach Road King Handlebar? Is it a good option?

My problem is that in Brazil we don't have any store that have these handlebars in stock so I could check it up and decide which one to buy......

I have the same set up. I have thought about going to the Chubby 518 bars however.

I put these same bars on my RKC, I went with the comfort stitch seat, I love the set up, you would be surprized how much the bars pull back.

What do you think about the Mustang Regal seat compared t the original RK seat?

FYI - The HD Chrome High Handlebar does NOT require extened cables or wires. I had them on my bike for a short time (another story)...but no extensions are needed.

Bon Dia! I attached a few pictures of mine with 10" high bars from Drag Specialties (Buffalo Bars). The quality is excellent. But you do need new cables. Incredibly comfortable and great looking, of course. (My brother lives in Belo Horizonte)

Ive got the sundowner and the matching adjustable driver backrest from HD with wild1's 518 handlebars. It is the ultimate in comfort IMO. I can set the cruise, lean back on the backrest and ride with no hands and my arms crossed down the highway. You dont need new cables with these bars either.

Hey, bom dia! Belo Horizonte is 725Km away from São Paulo, that's a good ride! Is a good place, with beatifull girls, the "mineirinhas"! When you come to visit him, take a ride to São Paulo to drink some bears on nice places! I'll show you the way!

About your handlebar... wow, that's what I call high! Awaysome!
