Check your bushings on the bars.
I've had the 10" bars for 3+ years and love'em. grip angle is much better than the stock ultra bars. I extended the wires and rerouted the clutch.
When running wires, I always coat the strain relief of the wires heavy with lithium grease, and push/pull them and they slide right in like $h!t through a goose.

No I am on the fence about height of bars. Torn between 12” and 14”. Need to check out a few things this weekend and decide. I don’t want to go with the shorter and regret it. Also don’t want to go taller and not love it.

KST 12's, I'm 6'2 250 and these fit me perfect, I personally would not want to go higher but everyone is different.

The down side of Stainless steel is that is not stain proof and it is softer than chrome and tends to scratch easily.

Found a road glide at a dealer that had the 14” kst mayhem bars on it. They felt amazing. No I found exactly what I was looking for. Just need to order, and find out what else I need before bringing to shop for install.

Just ordered a set of wild one reaper 14” chrome bars with stainless steel cables and brake lines. Also ordered new riser poly riser bushings. Now just need to have them at my door when I return home from vac so I can bring the bike to the shop for install. Couldn’t pass up the deal for these.

I bought a set of 14" Mayhem bars for my Road King maybe 5 years (?) ago and great bars. Just recently put a set of 12" Renegade bars on the new Road Glide and can't say enough how bad they suck as far as quality. Weld points inside the bars were horrific and needed cleaned up before pulling wires. If I had to do it all over again I would go with something else, probably Wild 1's Reaper or Factory 47. Maybe I just got a bad set of KST but left a bad taste in my mouth and they also felt lighter than the Mayhem bars.

I had them on my Indian and loved them. Very comfortable. Good quality.

Default tilt allowed on 14” mayhem baggers

How much tilt adjustment (roll) is there on a 2018 street glide with 14” KST Mayhem bagger installed? Anyone that can answer this? Just curious how close I can get the grips to shorten the reach
