- In this video I demonstrate how I install 12 inch handlebars on 2014 and up street glides! This is all you will need to do to put a set of 12s on your bike. The process is practically the same with taller bars except on taller bars, you will need to change the clutch cable, brake lines, and extend your wires. However this process and the tips you will see in this video will allow you to have a better understanding of how to do the job yourself!

Ok so I took everything back apart and I’m putting it back together now I’ll let you know what happens. Fuses are good
I did my own install on my 2016 Ultra Limited, saved money and now I have the satisfaction of knowing that much more about my machine. Thanks
Glad you got it done yourself and saved some money! The pride of doing it yourself is priceless! Ride safe👍🏻
I ordered 12" pre wired for my 2015 ultra limited low. Should have them in a few days gonna sway them myself. Done a bunch just never on a Harley. This video helps me out
@@dantinalong you got this! I’m glad you found my video helpful!
@@KevinSornig the video helped a lot was simple. Little time and patience
Glad you got it done!
Was near next to impossible to pull wires through mine. I'd save the headache and opt for prewired
Right to the point! Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Straight forward! I will be doing myself! Greta video!
Glad I could help out! Have fun with the install and ride safe!
Keep it up dog!
Always!
Great video bro
Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Right on man
Thanks brother! Got some more stuff coming soon, couple softail projects and a dyna
That is less complicated than I thought it would be. You mentioned a 6" extension. What do you mean and where can I find one? Thank you for sharing, for us visual learners.
Glad I could help! The extension can be found on namzcustomcycleproducts.com/product-category/namz-wiring-products/plug-n-play-harnesses/complete-bike-harnesses/ that’s where I get all my wiring from, it’s a section of wires with a male and female connector, you plug it into the wires on the bars and then into the bike. I like to wait till the wires are through the bars to do it so you’re not adding more resistance when you go to pull the wires through.
nice write up!
Thank you! I appreciate the comment!
Do you have a video on bars for 2013 tri glide ? Wondering about wires and cables And what size I can do on bars. Thanks. Great video
Thanks for watching! Tri glide is going to be the exact same, except the connectors are different, I do have a video about removing the connectors for that year harley though. Simple procedure and basically the same process, hope this helps 👍🏻
Great video!
Do i need to change brakes and clutch cables if installing a 14” on a 2017 electra glide?
It depends, if they’re a wide set of bars you most likely will have to change them. Thanks for watching!!
Dang, is it that simple??? I have a set of bars still in the box since a year ago because I haven't found the time to get the bike to the shop (2020 FLHTP).
With these excellent instructions I think I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot, man, appreciate your presentation. Really well explained 👍🤙
I’m glad you liked the video! If you have some tools and determination you’ll be able to get it done! First try just take your time and be patient! Glad I can help, thanks for watching!
no it's never that simple lol, of course mine has to have a giant plug at the end of the throttle by wire that doesn't fit through the bars!!
@@garydumpson4346 the throttle by wire has to be de-pinned, it’s been a while for me but I can’t remember if I talked about that in the video. I have a video on my channel about Harley connectors that might help you out!
@@KevinSornig thanks for replying! I will check out your other video!
@@garydumpson4346 no problem! Always willing to help out!
I use a little silicone on the wires going through the bars
I’ll have to try that next time!
This is awesome - still if you'd be local I'd bring my bike to you, amazing job!
Depends on where you’re at!
By the way thank you!
@@KevinSornig NC 🙂
@@VK-zt6sw I'm in Florida, so you might have to swap bars yourself, hopefully my video can help you out🤙🏻
@@KevinSornig Ohh.. man 🙂 Thank you though!
I’d probably put everything back together then realize I forgot to do something and have to take everything apart again lol
It happens to the best of us lol
Tank and fender covers are first
A seem riper works amazing for cutting loom off wires.
I'll have to pick one up, do they work well for the vinyl loom as well? I've made my fair share of repairs from knicking wires while using a razor blade lol.
@KevinSornig yes.
Hi i have a ultra classic electra glide 2016, is the same process??
Yes it is 🤙🏼
Can you use stock mirrors on this handlebars switch to 12” ?
@@JoseRodriguez-m5v you definitely can👍🏻 I prefer to install handlebar mounted mirrors but I can still see out of the stock mirrors
Thanks for this video, was quoted mad money by dealer so going to do myself, Why did you remove ignition switch?
No problem glad I could help! I remove the ignition switch to make it easier on myself. I’ve seen people do it without removing the ignition switch, but it can be a hassle when putting the fairing back on. If you don’t remove it and the trim piece below it you’ll have to lift the fairing over it.
Thank you and thanks for the quick response, I see guys disconnecting the battery or removing the main fuse, is that a must do? Apologies for the questions.
No apologies needed, I try to always remove the main fuse. But sometimes I forget lol. Never had a problem either way 👍🏻
Perfect, thank you so much, subscribed from Ireland..🤘🏻
@@zitter1971 thanks man! Take it easy! Hope all goes well!
👍
So I just did this myself yesterday and put everything back together went to start the bike but would not start is there something I need to do. I put 10" dominators pre wired on only had to transfer my throttle by wire. Please help😬.
First I would start with checking your fuses. If all that appears to be in order, check your ignition switch in front of the gas tank. Sometimes the barrel can get turned if you remove the ignition like I showed, and you’re actually only putting the bike into accessory mode. If that is the case, the easiest way to do the ignition alignment is with an ignition alignment tool, I’ll post a link when I can. If the ignition switch is functioning correctly, and all the fuses are good, check to make sure you hooked up the wire harness to the proper side.
@@KevinSornig so everything turns on when I turn switch on left side blinkers work fuel pump high/ low beam . Nothing on right side works so I took everything apart to make sure no wires were pinched and so far can’t find anything wrong with it
@@KevinSornig didn’t take the ignition out of bike left it in
Okay, so where I would go from here if you haven’t checked already would be for a loose or unplugged connector in the fairing. Also, I’ve seen once before with pre-wired bars, one of the wires on the handlebar harness went to the wrong spot if that makes sense
What size bars? 10”?
I believe they were. It’s been a while since this install haha.
Good video but remember the hight of the bars might require others to need more parts.
Thank you! And you’re totally right, taller bars requires longer lines and longer wiring harnesses!
Thought I heard on most Harleys (newer models) you can install 12” bars without any extra cabling. 14” is a different story.
@@guyh.4121 yeah, the only slight issue is the location of the female connectors under the radio, you have to re-position them. Which admittedly I didn’t show well in this video. I put a link to some short wire extensions in the description of the video, they’re not necessary but someone asked about them so I added it. The throttle by wire, clutch line, and brake lines don’t need to be changed for 12 inch bars. Hope this helps👍🏻
Who besides me sees the inner curve on the meat hook? True meat hooks ARE NOT this easy lol.
I agree true meat hooks are a real pain, especially if they have any burrs inside at the points. Ride safe!
You forgot brake light operated by front brake lever have to be thorough. Hurry up.
It wash checked prior to delivery👍🏻
