Just put 14” on my 19 Special. No clutch/brake issues at all. Did purchase the electrical extensions, but those are cheap.

Internal wiring on these angled bars are a major PITA. I’ll just pay someone next time.

How tall are you I am 6'3 and the stock bars are terrible. I like the bars you put on. What brand are those and do you have any more pics from different angles? did you have to reroute cables or anything.

My 2017 Road King special. 14" Burliegh Bars High Rollers. These are 2' thick. Custom made for my bike. I absolutely love them.

I’m 6’4”. They are a vast improvement over stock. I probably could have gone with 16” but didn’t want to replace the brake and clutch cables. I did cut a cable tie or two just to give more slack, but probably didn’t need to do that.

the website says you need the 1” knurl, but that is wrong. I ended up ordering mine through JP as I had some rewards points to use.

I can take some pics later. Anything specific you want to see?

If you could take a pic from behind the bike or on the seat and straight from the front. Are they knurled at 1.25" from KST? I have a 18 RKS and like how this look.

It's a mixer of pieces. I took a phone holder from Amazon (
visnfa Bike Phone Mount visnfa Bike Phone Mount
) and mounted a Qi charger to it. They don't make the charger anymore. I just found the thinnest one. Originally, I was going to gut the charger and mount it internal to the holder, but the holders arms were large enough that I could mount the phone even with an old battery case I had at the time. No wires to attach to the phone, just put it in the mount and go. I'm sure there are better solutions, but have had this for close to 3 years and no issues. I'll look at it again when it dies.
