Man those KTS is prob what I will go with. They look like the best for the money and they are really nice. I really like there made from stainless as well. I saw 1 review said if your over 6ft go with 12' I'm only 5 ' 7" so I'm thinking 12 might be high for me I'm just not sure. Wish I could find some people with each so I could see exactly.

The KST are a true 12" I am 5'9" and really like the feel on my 14 Street glide I think they would work for you but has a lot to do with what seat you have

Is it harder to turn lock to lock when your bars are that high?
I tried a set at my dealers they were peddling for $1000 installed. They were 13” but I didn’t really like the pointy design to them.
They felt good but I didn’t think to try them lock to lock while I was there.
Im ok with the factory bars as long as I position myself in the seat right. If not I feel the slouch which makes me think i might want to go higher.
I am one of the few who actually like the factory mirrors though and I am not sure what I want.

I'm liking those Khrome Werks 1" 2+2 NARROW SWEEPER pictured above. I wonder if the hoses and cables would have to be swapped? I have a Ultra Limited 2019. My buddy after I bought mine had the Harley Mini Apes installed before he took delivery. Those feel to high for my taste. They look great! However they do not come back to the driver like TXNT's 2012 in earlier photos.

I don’t have any pics yet but I’m got the14” KST punisher bars in gloss black installed on my 19 SGS.
had the KST bars on my previous bike and at a good price to.

Check the height of your grips above your seat on the Sporty, when sitting on it, then see where that same height raises the grips relative to the seat on your SG. You may need a different height bar to achieve a similar riding position on the SG.

Surprised to see quite a few people posting 12" and up bars, indicating that their hands are not catching wind. Below if a pic of 10" KST Mayhem Bagger Bars. They are wider than stock as well, sorry no pic handy of that angle.


They are pretty much right at the top of the fairing... stock lines & wires.

Man, those look like the 12" KST's I tried out recently at Gator HD during Leesburg Bike Fest. Your pic looks like they are just slightly above the top of the fairing, which is exactly where the 12" on the installer's bike were. Now I'm not sure whether to order 10 or 12's.

Is there any adjustment to these bars from full forward? If I go with 12's and I'm able to mount them rotated back a few inches, then 12's might work.

Any issue with the polished ss dulling over time?
