14" Bar question
I am looking at changing out my bars and would like to go with 14". I have a 2016 RG without ABS and according to West Coast T-Bars, I would need to change out my lines and add wire extensions. I have watched videos where people have put 14" apes on a Rushmore RG and used the stock lines. I don't know if those bikes had ABS or not, so I don't know if what WCT-B is saying is factual or not. Can someone answer this, do I or do I not need to change the lines of my 16' FLTRX to add 14" bars?

Thanks for the replies.
According the WCT-Bars a Rushmore Road Glide with ABS has longer lines and wires, thus can receive a taller 14" bar. But a Rushmore Road Glide without ABS has sorter lines and wires, thus not long enough for a 14" bar.
I am looking for someone not running ABS that can confirm or deny WCT-Bars claim.
Again, thanks for the help.

this should help. You can use stock wires/cables for up to 14" bars.

IMHO I would play it safe, and get the proper extensions. If the wires/cables are shorter on the non ABS, then get them. My cables on my 12" Yaffes were pretty much at the limit, after cutting some zip ties. Now the Yaffe bars measured out to 13.6" or so but this was on my Special so with ABS.

......my mistake, link was for wrong bike. Good thing google is our friend and providing the same video for a Road Glide only took a millisecond off my life. More importantly, it can still be completed without changing cables or wires.
Good luck OP.
