I have them on my '14. I've had injuries to both shoulders an they fit me better to relieve the reach with the stock bars. They are larger diameter which was nice for hiding the control wiring inside but I had to trim around where the fairing met the bars.

I have them on my 2020 and had them on my 2017.
They are perfect for me. No more pain between the shoulders, wrist angle is much better than stock. My only gripe is they put your hands right in the center of the stock mirrors and I don't want to put mirrors on the bars. Kills the clean look of the street Glide IMO so I deal with it. I wish someone made brackets that moved the stock mirrors out just maybe a 1/2" and the same up but I haven't been able to find any.

Just seen these https://www.kstkustoms.com/collectio...irror-brackets
I have seen these and they used to be 200+. For me they drop the mirrors too much, I don't like the look and I really only need to move them about an inch at most with my seating position.

They do sit a little taller (1" at most). No modifications needed on 2017

No. Just extensions of the grip switches and heated hand grips.

I DIDN'T Have to modify my 2016 Rushmore Fairing...
But if you don't trim the left side grip portion of the bar (it's in the insatll directions) you'll have a gap between the left side switch-pak, and the fat portion of the bar... about 1/4"... I misread the instructions and didn't trim mine..
I posted a pic of the gap, in my post above... Post #2...
