To bad I cant get them done for 2 hours, $150 is ok, $300 isn't.

You have great labor rates. Here in California it's $100 per hour.

I think it's $80 per hour here. So they charged me an hour and a half? I never really looked at the invoice, I guess I should.

Has anybody installed Khrome Werks 1.25 inch 2+2 Stretch Chrome Bagger Handlebars on a 2014 ultra ? If so do you have to install longer brake an clutch cables ?

I picked up my old take off bars today at my local dealer. I did some measuring between the old one's and the new one's.


It is very difficult to measure bars that are installed on a bike, but they appear to be about 1/2" taller then the stock bars.

Does anyone know the stock height of the 14 RK bars? The wife wants 2-3" taller bars. I was looking at the Khrome Werks 16". The stock look to be 15" from the riser to the grip and that would make the KW shorter???

Not all dealers in California are $100 per hour. My dealer charges $80 per hour. However, I bet there are some that are over $100 per hour.

ACLazer, quick question. Did they internally wire the bars? Or leave them like stock?
Man if I could get someone locally to internally wire them for $120 that would be awesome and a no brainer. I was quoted six hours form local dealer.

They called me when they had it in the shop, and said for another $90 bucks they could internally wire them for me, I passed, and said no thanks.

I did the change over last weekend and I was able to get all the wiring through the bars but the the lines from the 2 switch controls were just a little too short to reach the plugs behind the triple tree. I pulled those 2 back out and they were long enough to reash when installed outside the bars with ties as they were from the factory. Had to simply loosen and then re-torque the brake and clutch hydraulic lines but they were long enough to reach with the new bars.

I thnnk I'll get a set of these and re-wire internally....these should be much more than long enough and for the price much easier than soldering all the wires.

I really like the added comfort these bars provide as I'm 6'3" and have a seat that is back and thus further away from the stock bars.

All in all took me about 3 hours....mostly because I was adding factory Heated grips to my SGS and those directions were F*&^ED!!!
