I know this might not be possibly, but, can anyone identify these bars? or help with apart number for similar bars. I'd like to upgrade mine to 12's and these are supposed to be 12's. I test rode this bike at my local dealer just to feel the bars and i really liked them.

Nope. I had a tape with me and my guess plus the sales guys guess was 12. I don't want to be too crazy tall so I'm doing some homework before I order, which this is part of that. I did ask the parts guy at the dealer if they had or could get similar bars, and he went off into a tangent about the difficulty of installing them and what other things might be needed and was in his guess of about 2300-2800 "depending on what you need" I told him i will be installing them myself and he pretty much just quit working with me. he wasn't very helpful at all
What bars are those? That's about what I'm looking at
On another thread there was talk about 6 bend bars. They seem to be similar.
Good news. I like the KST look, I've been doing some looking at reviews on YT and just figured out they will be at the Lone Star Rally in Galveston in a few weeks. I think a good plan would be to visit their booth and put hands on some samples.

Here is the post of my installation of the KST 6 bend 1.25" bars -----> KST 10" 1.25" 6 Bend
Yes, it was a lot of work. I'm a retired Avionics tech, it was not beyond my capability. That being said, most people that have a good aptitude of mechanical and electrical skills. should be able to do this install. I think that they also sell a completely prewired set of bars. The KST 6 bend 1.25" at $205, they are best value IMHO. EDIT: I did install a +4 clutch cable.
