Just got a set of 14" signature series bars. The company claims no other parts needed. I did get some poly bushings. Anyone have experience with these bars? Pics?

I installed the 12" bars on my RGS. I don't think you'll be able to use the factory cables/hydraulics with 14". That being said, they are GREAT bars. Since my bike was pretty much new when I installed them, and I knew I'd be doing the forks at some point over the winter I didn't bother pulling the fairing off to change the bushings. But I will once I do the forks. Install was a piece of cake, the new tbw connector pulled through like the rest. No de-pinning anything (2016). I don't have any pics at the moment, other then the tiny sig pic. Sry.
I have some 14" signature bars that will be here on Wednesday for my FLTRU. I currently have 13" road 6 customs and still had slack left. Factory 47 has a video on their website that shows the install process and very clearly state 14" will fit with factory cables and wires. I'll find out later this week if thats the case.
I saw the video and was getting a lot of conflicting stories. I even called and they stated that I was good to go. Please let me know how your install goes. I am waiting on a buddy to come to help me hopefully soon.
Myself and a buddy put a set of Factory 47 14" bars on his 15 RGS. After cutting the zip ties and some reworking the lines they went on without a hitch. It took about 4 hours start to finish.
Yeah, I'm sure moving some of the cables around would help. I had the 8" cable extenders from the dealer ($30 or so) so I didn't bother, i just snapped the extension on. The throttle had more slack then the control wires did. The clutch and brake were the tight ones. However I managed to coax enough out for mine. Maybe there is more, I just stopped when I got enough. Don't like blindly tugging on stuff. I imagine if I couldn't get enough slack I would have went looking for zip ties to cut.
Perhaps I spoke too soon when I said I thought 12" was the max. If so, I apologize.
I put on 14" Vindikta bars on my RGU and believe that I could have went with 16" but the RGU is set up a little bit different in fact, the factory OEM bars on the Ultra are at 12"
The 14 Malo fits perfectly without adding anything. But like mentioned before there's a couple zip ties to cut. Depending on your windshield style the bars might touch when turning so adjust accordingly.
I put 43800 miles on the factory 47 14" for the 15 Road Glide. Nice finish, a little wider than Yaffe Monkey bars, and a couple inches shorter than Yaffe 14" monkey bars.
