I have a 2023 Triglide that I want to put taller bars on. Can anybody give me some experienced insights on
needs versus height? Thinking about 12" Thanks

How much extending was needed?
clutch, brake , wiring?

I put on LA Choppers 12" tall Grande Twin peaks.
Made in the USA and they're a nice 1.5" diameter bars. (They're not "meat hook" type, but rather a 90* miter cut look)
Still retains stock cables.

I installed KST 12” six bend bars on my 2024 TG. Brake line and throttle wiring did not need extending. Although KST said stock clutch cable would work I elected to use Fat Baggers 4” clutch cable extension. Straightforward installation and love the bars.

These are 16" in reality they are more like 14" when you measure them, but they are perfect and the handling is first class

Jumping on board for the advice. Considering the HD 12" Mini-apes for Batwings. What say all who have experience; wiring/clutch/brake extensions.

I put HD Tallboy bars on my 2016, my buddy did the mini apes. He's 6'4" and I am 6'6". We loved the grip angle of the Tallboys, but neither was the right height for us. When getting new Trikes a few years ago we both went with 14" Chubby's and love them. If I could have tried some 16's I might have gone with them, but the 14's are a huge improvement.
I now have thousands of miles with my 14" bars and love them. It all depends on your size.
As far as cables, Fat Baggers is where I found what I needed.

I will probably have some 12” Dominator bars for sale very soon. With my Arthritis the 2+2 sweepers fit me better.
