14" road glide bars
#11
OK Road Glides are WAY easier than that! Sheesh. Two screws to remove the speedometer housing and the riser is right there!. Thanks for the clip. Not sure anything they did to lengthen the cables apply to RGs. Possibly could do the clutch and brake hack though. I'll heck it out this weekend.
Also, did you have to remove the cable ends when you did yours? We didn't remove mine at all, though the throttle side was pretty tough getting all of them pulled through the bar.

Yeah I know its much easier on the RG, I thought maybe the section of video where he flipped the lines on the backbone and notched that little section might help you. I removed one plug on the throttle side, I tried a few times and got frustrated so I took it off, probably could have done it without but I'm impatient, lol. The other side had 3 plugs on it, both of the heated grip plugs were on that side. I got all three of them through without too much trouble. My factory 47's are inch and a half so that helped. My old KST's were inch and a quarter, I like those KST's but the 47's look awesome, that extra 1/4 inch diameter really makes them look beefy, I bet they would look outstanding on a RG since so much of the bar is visible.
KST has a new bar that's three pieces and adjustable. They're 1 1/2" too but about 500 bucks.

Yeah I like my KSTs but going to 14" I think the fatter 1 1/2" bars will look better and will be easier to fish the cables through. Now do I i go with meathooks or stay with the 45 deg bends. Lol

Yeah I looked at those new KST's and was gonna get them but they dont make them for my street glide, looks like road glide only but they do look pretty cool.

Cool. Watched the video for the install for these bars. They didn't have to reroute the brake and clutch lines at all. Just took out the plastic panel the cable plugs are mounted to. Man 450 bucks though! Thanks.
