hello,I currently dropped a deposit on a 2005 FLHRI Road King and I had the same feeling when I sat on it in the showroom, the bars leaned me over a little too far, I was wondering if the beach bars would help,HD told me the stock bars could be turned down toward me.But after reading your review I feel my 1st impression was correct,Now I can look for a pair of beach bars and throw them on when I get the bike,Can I ask how tall you are? maybe the height has something to do with the lean over the tank,I may be a little too short for the stock bars,Thanks for the info.
