Changing to Heritage Style Bars on a 2008 RKC
I am planning to change from the stock 2008 Road King handlebars to the "Heritage Style" bars.
Are the "Heritage Style" bars large enough in diameter internally to run all the switch wiring (the Throttle Grip Sensor Wiring harness is already in the right side)?
What is the correct size(s) "Molex Pin Extractor" needed for the job?
Thanks!

I don't think the Harley heritage style bars are made for internal wiring. Even if you drilled for them you would still have the holes for the wire brackets. Khromewerks has some that are 1.25 inch and are made for internal wiring.
Harley reduced reach bars are pretty much the same dimensions. They are one inch, but accept internal wiring. Cheap too. I just put them on my 2010 RK with no problem. Using existing wires. They say you need a new throttle sensor for internal wiring, but I used the same one with no problems as well.

Personally, I'd try to find a comparable 1-1/4" bar for the internal wiring/FBW set-up.
I installed a set of Santee 11" Apes last Winter and they used stock cables and wires, and were extremely comfortable!
I believe I only paid ~ $110 shipped to my door! They were so much more comfortable than Heritage bars I had in the past.
