Looks great. I struggled for while weather to get 10's or 12's. Everyone said to get 12's, I got 10's. I love my 10's but wish I'd gotten 12's

I am struggling with the same question - 10s or 12s. Why do you wish you had gotten the 12s?

Bike looks great with those bars, definitely going with the Black 12's when I get the opportunity!

First off, great job and pics. Now some questions.
Did Harley eliminate that annoying green connector inside the bars on the TBW?
Did you stay with stock bushings or go with the polymer bushings?
Did you have to remove the stereo to get to the bolts?

I can answer the last one.....No

Edit: I spoke out of turn. Didn't realize this was a 14

Green connector is still there.
I stayed with the stock bushings.
I didn't remove the stereo, I just moved the inner fairing forward a bit.

Great write up and pics. I am looking at doing the same to my 14 Charcoal Pearl SGS all blacked out. Just trying to decide between those or the Vindikta bars?

Default What is the best way to run the wires

The bars look great. I ordered a set of the 12" black Monkey Bars.
Have everything off and ready but have been trying to run the wires for the last 2 hours and haven't gotten anywhere.

As per your recommendation I also used the NAMZ extenders. I am assuming I add them after I have already run the wires?

Should I run the throttle wires first from the bottom of the bars to the side where the grip goes or run it after I run the wires from the grip to the bottom?

I noticed the green connector was inside but not actually attached to anything and also the black connector at the bottom under the batwing was also not connected.

I tried using weedeater string or whatever it is called like so many people recommend but can't seem to get the wires around the curves of the bars.

As you all can see...this is my first post...sooooo if you don't have anything helpful or positive to say than don't say anything at all. Much appreciated.
