I just picked up a 2014 Street Glide and ordered a set of the 12 inch monkey bars. Can any of you tell me the detailed steps to actually change the bars as it comes to removing the front fairing and then form there. Sorry I have never do anything on a street glide and seen mixed comments some saying different things so I wanted to see if any of you with a 2014 and the 12 inch monkey bars can help with this.
Thanks so much

Im curious to this as well. I have these bars on my 07 RK and looking at trading for a 15 SGS. And will either get these bars again, or thinking about pulling them off my RK as I already have the bars!!!

The cables will be close but it is hard to say because manufacturers measure their bars differently. I doubt you will be able to use your bars off the Roadking on your new Streetglide. They are likely too narrow across the bottom.

I actually bought the BAGGER bars when I got them, thinking I would trade down the road and they would work. My ONLY thing is they list them to 13, NOT 14-15.

So getting ready to do this and looking at the service manual it is saying to remove the ignition switch. I have read on here people saying you don't have to remove the ignition switch on the 14's. Can anyone shed some light on this part
Your first step is to get a service manual. This is a pretty easy job on the 14s because it doesn't require any soldering. You just pull the wires, get a plug and play extension kit and move on. Good luck and feel free to PM any questions.

The lower fairing cap is now notched so it will slide out towards the tank without taking the switch off. You have to move the bars to the far left and work it out. It is easier to pull the switch but I can understand you not wanting too if you haven't before...
