that’s what I’m waiting for to come in still. Do you have a picture of your bars from a side view. I’m really curious how extended these are reach wise. Ideally I’d like the grips to be as close to the upper fairing as possible. I have really long arms and on the tallboy bars I feel like the reach isn’t really more extended than the standard, they are just 3 inches taller.

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 just installed these today and they are great. I removed the lines from the tree, not the tray. Did you have to finagle the clutch line to form to the bars?

Phew… glad it wasn’t just me. I was worried I was going to mess it up. Thanks for posting your experience. That is why I went with these tall boys. Perfect bar for me.
