You won't need anything but the wire extension. If you find the cables are more snug than you would like, cut one of the cable ties that hold them to the bike. There's plenty of cable for even 14" on KST's. I've done mine twice, it's an easy swap, worst of it is wiring the new bars but even that wasn't that bad.

I WOULD advise getting a new TBW throttle that doesn't have the green plug; that's where most of the post-install issues come up; but it's not required I've done it both ways.

Your brake line adjustment these guys are referring to, all you want to do is move the banjo to a more appealing position, it's like, BARELY loosen it. You want to apply pressure to the cable line fitting and just barely loosen it until it moves under pressure. It should NOT BE moving freely, you want to have to force it to move and just slightly angle the cable to a better position and tighten it right back up. None of this "1/8, 1/4" turn stuff. You just barely barely loosen it until the line can move under some pressure

To be honest, get a manual and do it yourself. It sounds complicated until you get going. I was nervous at first getting into a new, very expensive vehicle but I read through the manual, I did a dry run a few days before, I followed the manual and read and re-read all the pertinent info, and dug in there. I removed the turn signals, removed the dash, removed the outer fairing, tilted the inner toward, exposed the bar mounts, and then on it all back together. All VERY carefully, and a few days later I was totally comfortable doing it again, realizing I really had nothing to worry about. It took half a day, total. Easy, and I was really proud of myself after. Dealers want over $1000 for most bar changes. It's insane.

 

Thank you for all of that. Very good information. Definitely put some more confidence in me.

What do you recommend for a throttle replacement?

 

I have the 14" Mayhems and just got the Namz hand control extensions. Use wire lube used for running wire in conduit. It helped a lot street i tried it without first.

This was the first major thing i have done to a bike and if i can do, you can do it. I did it all for the cost of the bars, extensions, poly bushings, and new grips.

I'm going to be starting a 2 amp 4 speaker install shortly, also a first.

 

32305-08A Sensor, Twist Grip (TGS) Its a CVO TGS, and if you order that you also need to get new pins, this comes in a Male plug, you need the pins Female. Like I stated earlier, its not REQUIRED but it is easier to put through the bars, and you dont have to worry about that green plug failing later on.

I got mine online, at Kutter if I remember right. $100

Also, you're in Monument? I'm in Denver. Need a hand, I'd be glad to help out; and as a matter of fact, I have a set of 14" gloss black KST Mayhems just sitting here, already wired with heated grips.

 

Hey onedef, Thank you. I am actually up in Denver now, by the airport so I definitely might take you up on that. Im halfway done with my exhaust change now and plan to do the bars in a couple of weeks.

 

I'm very interested to know how you didn't change the clutch and brake lines on 14+ streetglide with 14" bars. I tried to have KST Mahems installed today at bike week and they couldn't because they said those lines need replaced as they aren't long enough. Educate me please as if like to have these installed tomorrow! Thanks in advance
