I am 5'9'' with 30'' inseam and 34'' sleeve. Just had heritage style bars put on my 2010 RK Classic for 200 bucks total by the dealer. Also had a 2011 stock RK Classic seat put on for 180. Both were well worth the money. Feet hit the ground flat and no shoulder pain. Also had them do a stage one and added Samson true dual 33'' Longtails. Massive improvement. Sounds like it should now.

I installed the "Heritage Style" bars on my Road King myself.

Its a pretty simple job. Just go slow and steady with the removal and install.

The Heritage bars with the ISO grips was the best comfort upgrade I have done to the bike.

The factory bars were killing my shoulders.

I put heritage bars on my 03 classic when I put a HOPPE fairing on. it looked funny with the classic bars. the only thing I dont like is if you push them up the grips area is no longer comfortable the ends point up

Default ~~~ Heritage Bars ~~~

I just finished putting the HD#56902-08 Bars on my 2009 FLHRC. I picked them up from Zanotti's for $83 shipped, and they had them in stock. My buddy and I did the swap in around 2 1/2 hours last week. I couldn't save my left hand grip (Kuryakyn Iso Grip), but other then that the swap went nice. I tried the boiling water trick, but the rubber tore when it was hot and I was trying to twist it off. I went to my local HD Dealer in Sharon PA (Thunder HD), and Rhonda there helped me out and sold me just a left grip out of a kit there, and she ordered just one left side in to replace the one we stole from the kit. All of the original cables, hoses etc. all worked out and fit just fine.

I went on 2 long rides over this past weekend. I went 176 miles on Saturday and 125 miles on Sunday. The stabbing, numbing pain in my lower left side neck, shoulder is GONE.

$8.00 shipping and I bought something else to add in the box. I don't know if they use UPS or what but not a bad deal at all.....So total for just the bars shipping $74.30......

Those bars are very easy to install. Just make sure you get the Heritage style bars that are grooved to accept your throttle's twist grip sensor and be gentle with the sensor when removing/installing. You should be fine!
