No, they're 16" KST Renegades.

Anyone fitted any of the new brass collection on their RKS? I'm thinking of using some of the covers and fuel gauge/cap, wondered if anyone else had tried them out yet?

Hi guys, just traded up my Fat Bob for a 2018 FLHRXS in vivid black. I've got a question for those of you that have done a bar swap. I'm looking at getting some 1.5" diameter 16" Carlini gangster apes put on, howerver Carlini's web site states there is a fitment issue for models with a hydraulic clutch. I have seen some RK specials with 1.5" bars posted around the forums, so I'm curious if there is a workaround for this? The parts guy at the dealership is doubtful and says to just go with the 1.25" bars, but I prefer the fatter look if possible.

I went round the houses trying to get an answer to this.
Basically there's no work around. For some reason Carlini don't make bars for hydraulic clutches in 1.5"

Factory 47 are the only 1.5" bars that will work at the moment as far as I'm aware.

Yes,


I believe that is correct... Finally put in my order for 12" Factory 47 Malo Bars for my RKS ..


Install will be done by end of the month.. doing them with the Black Defiance hand grips and the HD Low Profile Black Mirrors


Pretty stoked ! I think the 1.5 Bars fit this bike better .. personal opinion of course.
