I've put the Heritage style on my RK. With short arms I need to come back a little more. I've been burning up the net looking at pictures of the 508's but can't find the right view angle to see about where my reach will be. If you've got a picture of your bike straight from the side so I can see how far back the tips would be lined up with the console, I could then eyeball a vertical line from the tips down to the tank and then set on my bike and get a good feel for where my hands would be. Just don't want to buy another handle bar and find it won't be what I want. I've been looking at bikes around here and there but haven't seen any with the 508's. I have read the comments about the 'wheel borrow' feel. I think the 518's would be too wide.

thanks and have a HAPPY FESTIVUS.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

ride safe

 

Go to the Wild Ones site, under photos, Road Kings there are a lot of views from all angles on bikes with the 508 ,518, 504

I used to run the 504 on my fatboy and loved them. I wanted the same type on my Road Glide but they just were not going to work, too low and not enough pullback. I found to get the pull back I wanted most of the "cruiser/beach bars" had too much wrist angle, 508, 517, 518. A lot like a wheelbarrow . For me the HD Heritage style bars pulled back/down work well.
