I have installed engine bars but I am just putting my Achilles tendon on the bars. Not that comfortable. Highway pegs anybody?

I only have 400+ miles on mine, but already have some marking. Thanks for the tip. I will keep my eyes on them.

Seems pretty clear to me waiting will provide more options. After a 200 mile ride at higher speeds I had no pain. I think I will wait.

Well, I agree the mirrors serve as an important guide to your bikes width, but I replaced the stock with the adjustable mirrors from Vario and they work very well. It is a height issue as well, and they were more of a pain lane splitting than any issues with my road king. I highly recommend what I g...

I have the same bike, same color. I've looked all over and can't find anything to pull the bars back and up, crash bars, windshield options, or cylinder covers for the 2011. If you have any luck, please post.

Nope, I got what I wanted. I'll use my road king for touring. Ordered mirrors I can fold out of the way in the city when traffic is dead. This, I hope, will make a huge difference. I really have to be careful now not to collide mirrors. Nobody else has this problem on city streets?

Ears too big for the animal, and the height position almost is a joke, roughly even with trucks of all kinds, suvs, crossovers. (weird choice of word for the category they wanted to define), and even some sedans. I pass through these places easily on the road king, and on these urban roads (Los Ange...

Moto-techniques. Will check them out.
Jed kinda got me thinking about waiting a while and then making the decision about what I really want to do after living with the bike a good bit longer before doing what seems inevitable.

Thanks all.

So, one thing I am sure of. I need the bars up and back, too much pressure on my hands and wrists. I have gone through the site and looked up the Wunderlich riser as it was recommended, but it seems to raise the bars but don't bring them any closer. Any thoughts or recommendations? No engine bars, C...

Thanks for the information. Should I replace the air filter to open it up some, and will I need a retune with the boosterplug? Thanks again, and I'll post a picture soon.

I owned a street bob in addition to a road king and decided I wanted to replace the street bob with something lighter, not Harley etc. Settled on the 2011 r1200r and so far it is exactly what I wanted. Couple of impressions and questions. The throttle seems twitchy at low speed, anyone else notice t...

I currently own a Harley 08 street bob, and am looking for something lighter and more maneuverable, better brakes, with an ability to turn, yet tour with if I want. And oh yes, reliability. Upright seating position wanted. That led me to this bike, and I am close to purchasing. I've sat on one and c...
