Hi all,

The 2021 RKS HD bars are killing my wrists, shoulders and back. Has anyone put on EZ Install bars from Fat Baggers Inc? I'm looking to get 14 inch flat tops (FBI 14 inch bars) and just wanted to see if there's any feedback specifically from RKS owners.
There are not too many reviews out there, but the ones I've seen are positive.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I'm new to the RKS, but have been on the forum for a while. I've just picked up a mint 2019 Special in vivid black with loads of accessories, including a stage 2, passing lights, custom dynamics led's all round etc etc.
HOWEVER, it was delivered with no oil in the transmission, so is currently in at the local HD dealer having the gearbox checked over before I either commit to keep it or send it back depending on what they find.



I was looking for a source of the chunky pointed tubular sissy bars, like in the pic attached.(below) Does anyone make them compatible with the HD docking system?
TIA

14" made the right difference to me, but no experience with Fat Baggers bars.

Try using compressed air to blow string through first than tape the string to your wiring harness. The real pain is the right side with the switch harness and throttle wiring.

thanks man. When I did my current road6 bars it was easy because they have open ends with caps. This time I’m gonna need a lot of bourbon to save my nerve lol. Changing hydraulic lines gonna be interesting also.
