Road Glide Handlebars

Hey guys,

I will soon be installing Kraus Handlebars on my 2023 Road Glide. The total height of the bars will be 14.5 inches. Will the stock brake and clutch lines work or will I have to order new cables? I am trying to find out before I start assembly.

Thank you.

I replaced the stock bars on my '24 RG to HD Tallboys. I needed the clutch extension.

Thank you very much for your response.
Did you get the clutch extension kit at Harley? Was it difficult to install?

What did you do for the brake line?

I went with a set up from thrashin. Way better than the stock wheel barrow bars. Not everyone is a fan of T-Bar styling, but it made the bike feel much more nimble and raising the height helped the perceived weight of the bike by gaining some leverage. YMMV

General rule is any bars over 12" are going to require at LEAST one cable usually both. Sometimes repositioning a cable works sometimes not.

Are you talking about the Kraus moto kit that includes the triple tree?
You really don't need the triple tree and you would save a ton of money if you just got the Kraus moto risers and handlebars while using the stock triple tree.

My setup is about 13.5 and the clutch fits fine stock. But going much higher, you will have issues. Just call Kraus and tell them what you want. If you need something else, they will tell you. If you can get by without it, they won't try to sell you something you don't need.
