That's an awesome RKS!! Those bars look great and are probably more comfortable than the stock 9" bars. I have a 2022 RKS and am switching out stock bars with 14" KST Straight Jackets. Looking forward to a better riding position!! Safe travels,...cheers from Vancouver Island!
Sweet sharp looking RKS 100 times better looking with apes. I have a ‘21 RKS and that was first upgrade I did was 16” bars. Way way more comfortable to ride then the factory bars for sure.
Nice bike...I have a 2021 RKS, and that's one of the 1st things I did to my bike also was replace the handlebars with 16'' apes...sooooo much more comfortable.
Have you done a stage 2? My bike actually had an oil sumping issue and harkey replaced the engine but in doing so I put in a torque cam...man that puts a smile on your face.
Honestly, I didn’t think I’d like them. But those bars look great on that Road king. Vey “meaty”. They really tie-in to the front of that bike. Do you find them comfortable in low speed maneuvers? Thanks again for sharing. And shout out from the south western desert of U.S.
Man I love them. It took me about 2 minutes to get used to them. Went for a ride around the block and ended up doing a couple of hundred kilometers. I find them a really natural and relaxed riding position. Slightly below horizontal for me. I was a little worried about slow tight corners but really I don't find them much different. I found the stock bars good too although a lot of people complain about them...I think they're fine. But this upgrade and the dark headlight make it look a but meaner. It's like going froma stage 1 to a stage 2...you wonder if it's worth it but when you do your smile is so much bigger. Thanks, ride safe.
sorry for the very late reply - I let the professionals do it at the local harley shop, was NZ$3k incl bars and labour. With all the cable extensions etc I didnt bother trying to do it myself and get Dot4 fluid everywhere haha
So good!!!

@@daveshappyplace I'm more about comfort than speed... I've done a stage 1, but always just thought that the 114 was more than fast enough.
Beefy! Looks good, and going to my 14" took some more time to get used to em than on other bikes.
Hey bud!! you're driving on the wrong side of the road!!

Hi there, can you tell me please how many hours it took to change the bars, church Gerry

I went 16 inch with 2 inch thickness on my 2016 RK
I'm 5'8 so I'm thinking they might be too high for me.
Naahhhhh….
