Handlebars
Thinking of changing bars on my 2018 tri glide. I'm 6' with 32" inseam. Was thinking of krome weeks narrow 2t2 or kst 6 bend 10 or 12". I don't plan on running wires internally. Was wondering what everyone else was using and what they think. Thanks

I had Wild Ones on several two wheelers and one TG. Then KhromeWerks narrow sweepers on previous TG. On my 2024 TG I went with KST six bend 12 and like them better than the others. You must run wires internally since there is no relief near switch packs for wires to be external. But it is easy as the KSTs are fully 1.25 internally with step down at ends for the grips. Others just have an external cladding. I did use wire extensions from KST. Front brake line ok as is and I think clutch will be also. KST can advise. Great customer support.

I've installed Khrome Werks 2+2 Narrow Sweepers on a 2021 Ultra-Limited and a 2023 Ultra-Limited. (Ultra-Limited should be the same as the Tri-Glide) On the 2021 I ran the control wires inside the bars so I needed the wire extensions. They were less than $20 and my local dealer had them in stock. I didn't need to extend the clutch or brake lines but I did have to reroute the clutch cable through the triple-tree so it wouldn't be so tight. (2021 and up use a cable vs hydraulic) On the front brake line I had to loosen the fitting just enough to turn it so it wouldn't contact the bars. The heated grip harness didn't need an extension.
When I installed them on the 2023 I opted not to run the control cables though the bars because it was more trouble than it was worth for me. (The hole for the control wires on the Khrome Werks bars isn't big enough to feed the wires though without de-pinning the connectors) I ~probably~ could've gotten away without the control extensions, but since they're fairly inexpensive and made it easier, I went ahead and used them. I also didn't want to reroute the clutch cable this time so I used the Fat Baggers 4" extension.
I'm 6'0" with a 32" inseam but apparently have shorter than average arms. I tried 10" H-D Tall Boy and 10" LA Choppers Twin-Peaks bars but neither of them would come back far enough for me without hitting the sides of the tank at full lock. The 2+2's do exactly what their name implies, they brought the bars up 2" and back 2", which is exactly where I needed them to be.
