RE: handlebars
just info...i have a 2005 RK and I put on a set of bars that come stock on a 2005 RK Custom. They work great. The break line is a stretch but works, but I ordered a stainless brake line kit for a custom, that should get it where it needs to be. As far as the pull back I think they area around 13", I know they are close to the Wild 1's (508)because that is what I was going to get. The RK Custom bars are 99 bucks, so that leaves some money for chrome, because the Wild 1's will set you back almost 200 without adding any break line kit, electric, or throttle and return cables if you need them. I am fairly short (5'06") and have a badlander seat installed which set me back from the controls even farther, and these handle bars allow me to sit straight up and all the way back in the saddle, where its comfortable.

TBall,
Welcome to the forum! Not sure, but how is pull back measured? center of the bar to the tips?
Did the Harley bars come pre-drilled for internal wiring? I would like to clean that up...at least it's a consideration. With the fairing I'm not sure how much I care...

RE: handlebars
The bars are still only drilled for the plastic wire hangers, no internal wiring, as for the pull back, i measured it from the cener of the of the mounting knurles to the tip of the grip area, not sure if thats exactly the right way to state pull back, but thats how i done it. Hope the info helped.
