Hey guys I'm new here. I've been looking at putting some 14" ape hangers on my 2011 street glide and was wondering what all I need. I know the obvious bars and cables but what else will I need? Thanks!

I'd suggest the SE Twist Grip Sensor and some poly bushings. Check out the Namz site for switch pack extensions.

Basic hand tools to include a torque wrench. Service manual is nice but not needed if you search well enough.

Good luck!

Patience - if you're doing the wiring yourself.

I started, and then went with Lonewolf. I pulled a wire off...

I think 14" is the breakpoint on extensions versus stock. You'll may need the SE [longer wire] TBW twist grip sensor.

I think some of the companies will tell you lengths if you contact them / buy from them.

You'll also need to consider new urethane bushings so they don't wiggle back n forth. They will "transmit" vibrations to your hand a little more, but the stock rubber ones go back n forth.

FLHX might need some clearanc-ing on the fairing where the bars go through. Mine did anyhow...

If you still have the stock on your motorcycle - You'll love the bars. They might take a little to get used to.

What bars did you decide on?

Both look cool.

Just take your time. Also if you can get some "Westinghouse Chain" [bathtub round style] it'll help pull through the wires. Soap can be used to lubricate the internals. If you know an electrician, get some Ideal Yellow 77 wire pulling lubricant - oh Ideal is a Canadian Company. [Thomas Betts 823113 Wire Pulling Lubricant] I think they work better than soap, but not worth it if you need to -buy- it.

I've seen illuminated switches, and it's -the- time to go to chrome housings. Check that if interested. But - The cost goes up up and away.

Where do I get the twist grip sensor? Namz? And also is the 20" plug and play kit from Namz long enough?

I got mine from KutterHarleyOnline, $100. Wherever you buy it, you want 32310-08 SENSOR,TWIST GRIP(TGS) as the part.

Yeah your 20" is more than enough, will make it easy to work with and you can hide the excess.

EDITED FOR CORRECTION. I ORIGINALLY POSTED 32305-08A AS THE CVO TGS. 32305-08A IS THE STOCK TGS.

You may need longer brake and clutch cables as well.
