Can you post some pics? What brand clutch and brake lines did they use?

Can you please tell me what dealer installed them? I am having the same bars installed on my '14 SGS, after also being told by the guys at Paul Yaffe that the stock lines would work. The dealer tried and he called me saying they were way too short and he can't find anyone who has the extensions out for the '14's yet.

So I began the installation of my bars!! Well, I believe I was misled about stock clutch and brake hoses being long enough.... There is no possible way these are going to reach. After getting the wiring ran internally and the bars mounted I did some measuring. 6" over clutch and brakes lines are going to be needed. I also used the Namz 8" plug and play wiring extensions. The stock control wires are just long enough to make it through the bars fully, and with the 8" extensions everything was perfect!! The throttle grip sensor wiring is long enough from the factory, so no extension needed there... I will be calling Magnum Shielding come Monday about some extended hoses. I will keep you guys posted and will post some pics soon!!

Default I stand corrected!!!



I guess I should have done a little more work before my last post! After noticing that the clutch and brake hoses were overlapped and zip tied together under the radio, I snipped the tie and crossed the hoses back over one another! What do you know? They fit! I guess this confirms that a set of 12" monkey bars will fit a 2014 Street Glide with only purchasing the bars themselves and some Namz 8" extensions! Hope this answers some questions for some folks future installations. I'm sure glad I'm done with these because routing the wires through the bars was a B*#^h!!
