I also have the 2010 RK. I installed the heritage bars and Mustang Super Solo Seat with rider backrest. The seat sat me back and down a little. Good combination with the Bars. Not hard at all to do it yourself. I did not have to change cables. still got more than enough clutch cable.

 

I had the dealer put them on my 09 Standard King. Made me a deal to good to pass up. They should be standard if you ask me. Great improvement!

 

One of the first things I did, myself. What a huge improvement in comfort for long trips!

everything fits fine....just do it

 

Since you have the TBW, was there any issues with the throttle wire length? Also, how much did it raise your grips when finished?

 

There aren't any issues with the TBW length. This is an easy swap. Just take your time and if you don't have one, get a service manual for your year bike. If you want to know how much your hand position is changed try and find an ex-police bike. The police bikes come standard with the heritage bars. The MOCO really should look into making these the standard bars. They are just too comfortable.

 

I called a dealer today and spoke with a service advisor to get a price on swapping the stock bars for Heritage bars. He told me that I would need new cables, but he couldn't quote an exact price because he didn't know cable length. I asked for a ballpark - he told me between $225 and $450 (depending on cable length and whether I wanted vinyl or braided cables).

For that kind of coin I'd just as soon get a manual, buy the bars and do it myself.

Those that had a dealer do it - what did you pay?

 

From my dealer in Fort Walton Beach, FL;
My name is XXXXX and I am the Service Manger with Heritage cycles and am replying to your questions from the general email. The Heritage bars are $79.95, $212 in labor if you want to go with braided cables it would be an additional $179. If you have an questions on the particulars hit me on my personal email and I'll get right back to you. There is always some lag time by the girls that handle general email.Thanks, XXXXXX

So they are very similar. They have been a very good service department so far and I can only recommend them.

Caberto...thank you for the technical write up you added. VERY helpful! ;-)

 

Did it myself on my 2010. No issues at all, no need for any new cables. The Heritage Bars and a Corbin Solo seat for me have been perfect. I'm 6'2" with fairly long arms and am very comfortable. Have put 5000 miles on with this combination.

Definitely cover the tank and the fender while swapping out as someone indicated earlier.

 

Mine is a bit older, but very similar for this job...

I removed the headlight and the handle bar cover, then just loosened and slid the controls off the end of the bars. Installed the controls loosely onto the new bars before I installed the bars onto the bike. This gave me room to work around without disconnecting any wiring within the nacelle. It saved me a bunch of time and head aches...

Just a quick suggestion, no matter how you do it...
Cover your tank with a towel or something thick and soft to keep from bangin the tank with either set of bars. They tend to fall out of your hands when ever they get the urge...

 

Bought a manual and did it myself. I am not particularly mechanical - I think it took me about two hours.

I bought the bars online from Lakeshore HD for $45.00.
