I'm planning on having some KST Mayhems installed when I go to Daytona next month. I'm really tossed between the 12" or 14" for my 14 SGS. I'm right around 5-9".
Any opinions one way or the other?
I want to keep stock mirrors but I am also a little worried about low speed maneuvering with the 14's. Is that something I should worry about or something I'll get use to?

Im 5'10" and have 12.5 and am an ape kinda rider so I do wish I went with 14.
As far as slow maneuver, the taller the better for me. Maybe not for you though.
You might be able to keep mirrors with the 14's.

I'm 5'11" and have the 12" MB by Yaffe. I still have the have the use of about 1/2-3/4 of my mirrors too. What makes a big difference is the seat you use. I have the Danny grey buttcrack and an Electra glide seat for 2 up. A very big differences in my arm level. The 12" mb's seem higher than most 12" too.

I'm working on installing Yaffe 10" monkey bars. Been a royal pain thus far and l'm not done yet.

I've been looking at Namz web site. There are a few different wire harnesses for my bike. I'm guessing one is extension, one is an entire replacement harness and one is for the throttle by wire. Which one or two do I need??
Also the new TBW unit that you get from HD for easier installation, does Namz have one of those too??

True that. I wound up pulling every wire out of that damn green plug as l was pulling the wires thru. I bought the older(32310-08) harness and had the new pins crimped on.
