Default Road glide bars on a road king

I'm thinking of putting some black road glide bars on my road king. Has anyone done this? I now have heritage bars that were on it when I bought it and just wondered what the difference would be height and pull back wise. The cables should be fine.

Look up the part numbers of both and then you can compare them with this chart. I was told at a dealer that they were essentially the same, I never looked it up personally but since it was a salesman that told me, it was probably incorrect.

After sitting on a Road Glide Ultra this afternoon, I really like the handlebars on the RG. Would like to know if anyone has put RG bars on their Road King. Would like to see some pics before trying to buy them.

I have RG bars on my 2020 RKS. Very comfortable compared to the stock RKS bars.

Thank you very much

They do look nice. I’m guessing no mods to the cables just remove and replace.

Currently have the reduced reach ones at the moment.

started off with
stock
khromewerks 10in mini apes
HD reduced reach

No mods to the cables. Easy swap.

That is funny!
Today, Road Glide bars are awesome. I just picked up a 2023 Police King and I want to keep it mostly stock, especially for ergonomics, but I cant quite reach the bars without leaning into them. I think the RG bars with the longer pullback will be just right, but its hard to know for sure. I want to sit fully upright.
