Hey Deglide,
Can't help to notice that you have your bars pulled pretty far back. I just added the 14" and really like them. I kinda did the same in order to access the two little gauge nacelle screws, but I think I want to move mine forward about 2". I'm looking to get a narrow T25 driver to access those suckers at an angle like they show in the video. Also my clutch and brake lines seem a bit tight, hopefully by moving the bars forward I can get a bit more slack.

I really do like the bars though, they look sharp. I also have the 14" Freedom Shield and the whole front of the bike is stellar. Can't wait to go for a test ride, but this Wisconsin winter just keeps hanging on. We had 0.5" of snow on Saturday...UGH!

Just saw your "extra hole" mod for the clutch and brake cables...good idea, I do have some more adjusting to do and also thought about removing the cables from that square retaining block you mention. Thanks for all of your feedback and tips! Much appreciated.

Rode the bike from Philadelphia down to Daytona Beach and back, with a trip over to Tampa; well over 2500 miles. The grip placement is perfect for long distance rides. Did a 1000 mile day on the way down and over 800 miles on the way back. Zero issues with back or neck pain. Have a Russell Day Long saddle with a backrest, which helps immensely.
Stopped by the KST booth at Destination Daytona and spoke to Ret Tolleson and team. Great guys. They were truly interested in how things worked out for me with the install. I can't recommend them highly enough. I also purchased though Dennis Kirk for the free shipping and price discount.
