I am going to put on 12 inch Yaffe bars on my 15 street glide. I know I need extensions and bushings. I have done searches with a lot of different opinions. I am going to do the work myself. Please recommend either NAMZ or HD extensions with part numbers if you have them. Do I need both the right and left side extensions? And what is the best place to buy the bushings.
Just get whichever brand is less expensive. I got my bushings direct from Wild One because of the material they are made of...like a polycarbonate or something....cant remember, but when I was looking it was hard to find them made out of that material and for some reason I was inclined to get some made specifically out of that material.
I just made my own with a few dollars worth of wire. No need to buy extension really IMO
I didn't even take the pins apart, just cut the wires in a stagger way, and solder on the extensions and use some shrink tube
For the price of the Namz kit, you can buy the crimper, run a new length of 8 strand wire, solder it in up top, and make new connectors. Then everything is brand new and verified correct. I just don't trust jumpers inside those connectors as fragile as the MX series of molex connectors/pins are. Let me know if you need help identifying all your pins and connectors, literally did this two weeks ago.

Thank you.......
I just put new bars on my '16 Touring bike and it was pretty simple.....
You have a 2015 which means CanBus system. You're wiring is going to be way easier than the pre-CanBus bikes... I didn't switch bushings, (my bars were mini-apes) so I have no info on those...
I used the Namz #NHCX-CB14 wire extensions. They make both the extensions you can add-on to OEM, or the ones which replace the OEM wires. The NHCX-CB14 wire extensions replace the OEM wires, and I believe they are long enough to accommodate up to 14" apes (check the web site, but I believe you'll be golden at 12" apes). I used them and it was pretty simple. My bars were just barely taller than OEM and had round bends. Feeding the wires was easy. I even added heated grips, which have thicker wires than the CanBus switch-paks....
You'll just run the Namz wires in your new bars and then plug them into your grip switch-paks. The switch-pak connectors are small and easy to feed through the bars... Just follow their directions and don't pull on the connectors...
