Best Handlebars For RKC?

Just got a 2009 RKC. Love the bike, but don't care for the sitting position. It feels like I'm sitting 'on' the bike, rather than 'in' the bike.

Got a Sundowner seat on the way, and now I'm looking for opinions on handlebars.

So far, I'm liking the Wild Ones 515's & 513's. Not looking for any crazy-sized Apes.

What would you recommend?

Thanks
 
have you tried adjusting the stock bars, I have a RKC with the reach bars, prior to the new bars i rolled the stock bars down and it improved my positioning greatly. The bars are not that difficult of an install and can be done in an hour or two.
 
'09 RK...changed the stock bars to wild 1 mini 10" apes. Best fit for me long torso long arms. The final decision came when I spoke with Tom, customer service tech, call them give 'em some physical dimensions, riding posture, etc, and he will recommend best fit. Very happy with the 10" mini choice.
 
I've got 518's on mine and I'm pretty happy with them. Of all my mods, they get the most compliments. I saw some here on the forums that were on Road King standard that are called Big Johnson Barrons and they looked really good also.
 
Stopped by the HD dealer north of here and tried out two RKC's, one with 14" and one with 16" apes. At 5'11" found the 16's just a touch too high but the 14's were perfect. Now I just have to steal the 1000.00 to get the work done (includes internal wiring and stainless brake lines)!
