I did too, and no they fit through the bars

I installed the bars myself, the connectors fit through the bars no problem. Actually a very easy install; I installed Factory47 10" bars, FXR Division 12" bars and now Monkey drag bars. The Monkey drag bars are keepers as they feel great and handle great, no more shoulder pain since they are not very wide. Hands are completely protected from wind, which is great when riding in the cold.

Bars look great! I think I'm pretty much sold on those. Thanks for posting pics!

If the question was referring to me, it is the same stock seat in both pictures. 2019 stock CVO RG seat with red stitching.

Finished getting the bars installed and adjusted this morning before the monsoon rains showed up. Had to clear the codes for disconnecting the gage cluster but all is good. Cables are all tucked in and just have to refit my crg bar end mirror on the left grip internally. I didn't care for the mirrors with stock bars and I'm using the CRG flip out lane splitter which shows both behind and the left hand side of the road. Of course I may have gained 2 mph for that mod....hahahaha. Thanks to Mikes300 and VRADMAN for helping with my questions. I'll get some pics posted tomorrow when it's dry but its definitely something I should have installed when they first came out.
