RE: handlebars
Hey,
I did the 508's on my FLHRCI. I think. There are two. One is 14" pull back, the other is 16". I love them. Great feel, minimal reach. Good for long rides yet still sporty. I am 6'4" tall and the 14" are perfect. My buddy is about 5'10", just bought an 03 Road King and also likes the feel of the 508 and bought them.
Peace,
g

Buddy has them on his RK, loves them, swears by them. I rode his bike about a month ago...if I had a RK, I'd have those bars.
I'm looking at buy the Chubbies for my EG. I took a 140 mile ride today with the wife (first ride longer than about 30 minutes) and I was sore from the reach on the handlebars...it was bearable for that distance, but 200+ would hurt, and it's unnessary with the better bars out there.

RE: handlebars
Mac,
You may have a problem installing the chubbies on your bike because of your farring. I installed a set of knuckle bars on my Electra Glide, but I had to add 3-1/2" to them because my front brake reservoir wouldn't clear the farring. The nice thing is that the added 3-1/2" is hidden under my grips, so that you don't see it. There is also a piece of plastic that covers your handle bar clamp that you may have to modify.

RE: handlebars
They now have Wild 1 Chubbies for the FLHT's...the part number is W0575.
According to their website it will, "Depending on rotation when moounted 1.0" - 2.5" more end rise and 1.5" - 2.5" more pullback than the stock bars"
I need to do something for long rides, the handle bars are too far away to sit in a completely relaxed position. I'm 6'3"...
Do you know of anyone else that makes aftermarket handlebars?
