Default Any one running a T/MX-Bar on a Rushmore Road Glide
Wondering if anyone out there is running a T/MX style bar on the Rushmore Road Glide. I know the gauge and tree cover are different from the older RG's and those are all I seem to be able to find.

You can run them. There are a few ways of doing it. A lot of guys just drill holes below their gauges. The gauges get covered a little.

I'll be installing some in the future.

Actually not as bad as you'd imagine.

24v, very nice ride! i am gussing you don’t have any type of cover over your trees now with the gauges relocated? Got any pics of how that looks? Also, how tall are those bars? I like to see a straight on profile pic so I can get a good idea of the height in relationship to the fairing. I measured what I think would be 14” off my top tree and it seems a lot lower then I think it would be. I am used to riding with 14” apes that I had on my Street Bob.

My bars are 14". They are lower than 14" apes because apes bolt to risers, so that adds a few inches typically.

I hose are sure interesting. I am not a fan but appreciate that he person likes different styles. Those bars play mind games with me. I look at them and think you have to loose leverage with them?

They are a little more narrow than apes and the hand position is a little more straight. It feels different at first but they also feel a lot more connected to the bike. I had apes previously, no way I would go back.
