Yes. I had the dealer do the swap. I just confirmed with them that they DID install new brake and clutch lines and wire extensions for the TBW, etc. Hope this helps.

Not positive on the amounts, I had them do it in the deal on the bike. I know the bars were about $400 alone. I would have done them myself but I'm sure I would have fouled something up in the process... thus taking into the dealer anyway....lol.

Default 14" Wild 1 Reapers installed

I changed the bars out over the weekend. Stock brake and clutch lines fit fine, they would've worked either way but I removed them from the clip on the neck to give a little extra slack. I did extend the wiring but didn't have to extend the tbw.

How much higher are your hands versus the stock bars? It's hard to tell when they say 14" bars but there's that angle back down from the top.

I'm 5'10 and my hands are just below my shoulders. The bars are about 5-6 inches above the stock bars. The grip height is what wild 1 measures as the rise, not the top of the bar. I went with the reapers because I needed the pullback compared to some of the other bars and also the bar turns have smooth corners inside for wiring.
