I have 12" KST Kustoms Pioneer (I like the traditional bar look) bars on my 2020 RGL. I was able to leave all the electrical connections in the original locations. I believe I just had to snip a couple of wire ties to re-route the clutch and brake lines. These are by far the easiest bars I've ever wired as there 1.5" (beefy) bars, and the wiring just drops out the bottom of each side upright. https://www.kstkustoms.com/collectio...cts/originator

Went with these as they're one of their Vanguard Collection of bars meaning they're fully adjustable. They are 3-piece bars so the uprights are adjustable for pullback and a comfortable wrist angle. I like a "flatter" wrist angle so I've got mine adjusted to about 6" of pullback. They are a fairly wide bar. I think mine are at about 36.5" wide...but I'm 6'3" with longish arms so they work perfectly for me.

I believe their Pathfinder bar is the narrowest at something like 3"-4" narrower...33.5" wide set at 6" of pullback. https://www.kstkustoms.com/collectio...cts/pathfinder

 

Thanks for your response. The Pathfinder bars are on my list. Did you change out the riser bushings? Also any problem with the bars blocking your view of the small gauges, I have heard of a few complaints about that?

 

I did not change out any bushings...not sure you need to with 12" bars on a RG? I did change out the bushings on my previous Ultra when I changed bars on it. I could be wrong and am happy to be corrected, but with the batwing bikes, the fairing is mounted to the forks so there's considerably more weight there as opposed to a RG with the fairing being frame mounted. And again, those bars were a b*tch to wire & install compared to my RG with the KST bars.

The only thing I did was changed out was my top clamp to a Yaffe Super Riser Clamp as it has 3 set screws to secure & lock in the bars. KST did have a bit of an issue with some bars rotating. The earlier ones (like mine) had a rubber strip in the clamping area but it was hit & miss. You could have the bolts torqued to spec and the bars could rotate a bit with enough force on them. I believe they have now changed/fixed that with the clamping area being knurled now like most bars.

I have my bars adjusted/aligned so they're basically inline with the front forks. Set like this, I have no problem at all seeing all of my gauges...even the small fuel & volt gauges. Not even close to blocking them. Again, I'm a bit more on the tall'ish side so keep that in mind. If a rider is shorter, or very short in the torso...then maybe.
