No sir no need to change for my 12". I'm almost certain it's the same up to 14". I'm really happy with them and KST were great to work with. Call them and ask for Ret.

Watch the install video in this thread. He shows you how to get enough slack for the 14 in bars he is installing .

But I'm gonna call tomorrow. If I can get the 14" Pathfinder bars on my 2019 RKS without having to bleed the ABS or swap cables, I'm in.

Considering going Pioneer 14" or Spearhead 14" Gloss Black for my Charcoal Denim RKS. Two completely different looks.. cant decide which would look best
Wish I still lived in Panama City Beach, FL b/c I could make this a much easier decision at Thunder Beach with onsite install.
Almost considering buying both bars and putting them up to the bike to see which look I like best and returning the other set.
I held off on bars for so long b/c I wanted 1.5 14"s and the Factory 47 were just too wide for my taste and the Carlini Gangster Apes were too wide as well but damn they look clean !
really think these will fit the bill perfect !
Anyone have any recommendations for install in Richmond , Virginia ??
THANKS !!
hope to see some more pics posted of these bars installed

Looking Good !
I would suggest you have them polished out removing the scratches and then have them coated with a reputable paint coating ( if scratches bother you that is) I will have mine coated twice before install and once installed I will most likely put on one more application to heavily reduce the chance of scratches and micro-marring.
Thanks for posting!! Hopefully someone on the forum will have some pics of Pathfinders and Pioneers to post as well... Really dig these new 1.5 adjustable bars !

How long did you have to wait to get your bars and who did you get them from? Most places Ive looked are showing 4-6 weeks. Im wanting to know if thats accurate.
