fwiw, just installed the tall boy bars while waiting for the after market to catch up. They are same bends as the stock '24 street glide bars just about 3.5 inches taller. The stock clutch, brake, and all wiring fit just fine with some to spare. I did pull the brake and clutch lines from the "holder" on the frame neck to free up a couple inches, even used the existing tripple tree top hose/cable holders to keep it all neat. This was the easiest internal wiring pull I have ever done. That part took about 10 minutes with no cursing at all.

Could you upload couple pics? I'm trying to decide if I want to go the same route.

No worries, helps see better.

Are they any wider than stock? Or they are truly identical (except height) as you mentioned?

I really like those. Look just like my Wild1 579s, except HD's are only 1"... Hmm...

Exactly same as stock but 2.5-3.0 inches taller. When next to my '14 SGS (for sale for 10.5K if anybody needs another bike) with the Kromeworks 2+2 bars they look identicle but the 2+2's have a slightly softer wrist bend. The KST video above is really helpfull except several of the bolts are different type then he calls out. He used T25 when it should be a T27 in many cases on the '24, and we have allens a few places where he calls out torx. Pull brake line a clutch cable from the tray is the only "mod".

I did I put 10" on and used the same cables, I think 12" will work with the stock set up bet its going to be tight. I would use the extenders.

The one white SG I was looking at in the dealer has 12" bars and they did not add any extenders at all. Simply removed the cables from their holders behind the fairing.
