Road Glide Handlebar Height
Good Morning ,I recently purchased a 2021 Road Glide Standard. I would like to replace the stock handlebars. Thinking maybe 12" bars. Does anyone know if there is certain height I can go to without changing cables / wiring ? I think years ago you could go to 12" using stock cables. Thanks in advance for any reply's. Rick

I saw the other day KST customs posted on their Facebook page you could go with 12s for sure with the new return of the clutch cable on the 2021s

I have had two different sets of 12" bars on my 2020 RG. Both installed without purchasing any lines or extensions. With Yours being a 2021 things may be different with the clutch cable though.

I installed 12" KST without needing longer cables. You have to remove the wire connector clips from the mount plate to gain some length on them and snip some tie wraps to make it happen. It was tight but worked.

Just checked out the KST web site. lot of good information. Thanks. I was quoted 1500 to 2000 to swap bars at the dealer. Almost ****. Been a long time since I've changed a pair of bars. Thanks again.

Those bars are Harleys own " Tall Boy" bars. Their drawback is they do not come in gloss black, but the fit and function is perfect for me. The thing about Road Glides, bar swaps are easy when compared to a Street Glide. The other Bars I had were Factory 47 Legacy 12", For me, they were too wide and too little pull back.
