I have tried several handlebars on my 2008 RoadKing Classic, but they haven't provided me the comfort I want.
Now I am stuck with a Heritage style bar which is also to short.
I need an handlebar that has the same height as the Heritage one ( I keep it tilted towards me) but has 2-3 more inches of pullback.
Can you advice me in choosing the right one?
I just saw the Wild1 WO513 Wild 1 Inc. Online Catalog Customer Bikes - Handlebars, Skull Covers, Parts and Accessories for your Harley Davidson.
I think that if I tilt this down will come to my desired height and pullback.


Do I need to change the cables If I am going to mount this handlebar?

 

I am 5'6" and have had the 513's on my WG / FB and on the RG... I loved the bars on the WG and FB - they were also good on my RG but I would haved needed to have the seat reworked to allow me to sit back in the seat AND reach the bars SO I went to the 517's - A friend has these on his RK and he loves them - They have a different feel but give a great pull back... I went ahead and installed them - road from CA to Savannagh and back - I loved these bars but they are not for everyone because of the angle of the grips..

A lot of people here will give different suggestions and I have found it is almost impossible to suggest a bar for someone else - it is a very subjective topic... What works for one may feel like crap for another.. I started asking here about the 517's and got a lot of 'opinions' then I found a friend that said "I have those bars on my bike" went to his house, sat on the bike and "bingo" I found the bars for me.. Since that ride to the east coasts on the RG - I have gone back to the EG and I miss those bars... Well, they will NOT fit on a EG so I have found another bar that is close to the feel and I am again happy..

ask for help here BUT try and find a local bike with the bars on IT, to see if YOU like them.. holding the bars at a shop will NOT be the same as if on a bike.. Also, when testing bars.. see how you sit in the seat - it all has to fit YOU to work the best...

 

I am the same as you and am going to order the Ergo Back Bars from Klock Werks. I should get them next week and will post after install. Supposedly no additional cable needed to run them inside the bars.

 

Please post a picture with you sitting on the bike if this is possible. Thanks

 

i like my pullback drag bars on the yellow and blk bike(avatar)

 

i got these pullback drag bars... very comfortable , didnt hafta buy any wires or cables

 

Those look the same as mine... I'm 5'10" and find them very comfortable. Didnt have to change the cables either.

 

I sent you a PM Andrei.

 

Have you tried using pullback risers. When I had a roadking, I used the Heritage bars and 4 1/2 inch pull back risers. Worked great!
