Thanks everyone for the replies, I want to replace the Beach Bars on my 06 RKC. I had Heritage Style Bars but the they were uncomfortable and I had to rotate them back almost hitting the gas tank to fit my short arms. I'm only 5'4" with the bike lowered in the rear and the seat lowered also. I sat on a couple late model Heritage Softail's and was comfortable with the bars. Just wondering about fitment with my short arms. These will be bars number 5.

I'm not positive but I think the only difference in the 09 is the notch on the end of the bar for the throttle by wire twist grip sensor. Should work fine on anything earlier.
I have them on my 08 ( throttle by wire ) and love them. I like my hands low. I have them adjusted all the way down as low as they go and still clear the tank. Very comfortable for me and allows me to sit up straight with a bend in my elbow even with my short reach.
