Handlebar change!Extensions needed?
Hello people.Just looking for some opinions and experience on this.I have a new 2024 Road King Special.I am changing the handlebar to a todds cycle touring/road glide bar( i believe they call it).
The todds bar has a 12 inch rise,31/32 inches wide.
The stock bar on a RKS has a 10 inch rise but is approximately 36 inches wide.(HD claim it's 31.75 wide but it's not trust me).This topic has been covered here on this forum before about this discrepancy.
Do you guys think either turn signal extensions,clutch cable or brake line will need to be changed?Thanks in advance.

Forget about extensions. You are just adding several more connection points that can fail.
I finally realized that Namz offers the full wiring kit in what ever length you need and they are under $50 bucks. I’ve used them on the last three handle bar installs and will never add extensions again. I just leave the original wiring in the older bars.
The last ones I bought came from Dennis Kirk. I did get a set from Revzilla once also.
Just my 2 cents worth.
