I have read tons of post of folks putting the Heritage Style Bars on a RK. Before I bought some, a friend of mine let me borrow the bars that came on his Heritage. I set them on top of my stock bars and it only seemed about an inch and a half higher (with accounting for the height of the stock bars and cover) and with a slight inward bend. Am I wrong? Is it that much of a difference?

 

There is a difference between Heritage bars and heritage-style bars.

 

I sat on a RK with heritage "style" bars, and didn't care for the way they looked when installed. I then bought RK high bars from HD and ran them for almost 2 years. They served me well, but now I have the Khromewerks +2 sweeper bars and they are far superior in wrist angle. Find a RK with the heritage bars, and you can be the judge. Took me 2+ years to find the bars I like.
