The flex is in the riser bushings my factory 47s do the same While the bars are off you need to add good n tite poly riser bushings and quite sure they need longer riser bolts as well, which are easy to get a hold of
i am 5/8 had 12 inch la chopper hammerhead bars on and was reaching. slow turing was great but should have gone 14. i am looking at these and debating on the 14's. i ride long trips to but also like to hit the twistiees hard. compared to stock bars are these better for tight turns? Also use a road sofa so sets me up like the step up does.
I like these better for tight turns compared to stock bars. The left and right sides can be rotated in the clamp to whatever angle you want so you can position them like T-bars if you want a sharper turning feel. I would be these bars over and over again for any future bike I buy.
@@mrkillijiggles5351 thanks man definitely going to get them. I have the clutch extension and the control extension but might need heated grip extension unless they put it in with my 12’s not sure but have stock back on. Was at kst in sturgis and should have inquired more. 750 total for the bars and install
Looking at the same bars for my 24 RG. I’m 5’10” and had 14” bars on my 2020 and loved that height. The guy at KST says I should do 12” due to the new model riser being taller. Your thoughts?
I'm 5'8" and replaced stock bars on my 24 with KST 12" Ornery Apes and hated them. With the stock risers it put the bars at 15". The bars were too wide for me and the wrist angle was odd. I think I'm going to 14" Pathfinders to get the height and hand position I want. By far the most comfortable bars I've ever had on a RG was 16" LA Choppers Hammerheads on my 22 RG CVO. With the stock 24 risers it should put my hands about where I want them height wise and the adjustability of the bars I should be able to dial in my wrist angle.
Just bought these for my fltrk 21,were you able to use the existing front brake cable or did you have to change it???,I've got the fat bagger 4 inch extension for clutch coming in so I'm good there .thks D
Nope I’d buy the KST Pathfinders every day! The 14s imo look great but when you sit on the bike they don’t feel that tall, just an inch above my shoulders and I have a short torso. I’d highly recommend anything from KSTs Vanguard collection for the 3 way adjustability. Way way way easier to wire than the Motorwitch bars also
I got the narrow perch clamps because the stock ones were too long to sit flush on the bars. But I ended up getting the 1FNGR levers so they provide a clutch perch which is attached to their lever.
I love it, I could go all day on it but I would say my sundowner is more comfortable. I’d pick the sundowner for an actual road trip. Plus the Lucky Daves seat has no room for a passenger

It’s not the bars. It’s the bushings and that wiggle is common when you go taller than 12’s.

Great review!
How tall are you? I’m debating on 12 vs 14’s.
5’7. Get 14s without a doubt. If I was 6’ I’d still get 14s

I’m 5’7 and I think the 14s are perfect

those look bigger than 14"
They aren’t
Indeed, they appear 16", but if 14", then 14"....

Stock brake line works
I just hate how 14s look they look so damn tall. If you couldn’t do it again would you do 14s motowitch bars?

Hey buddy, what perch mount are you using? Don't don't seem stock at all
I got the narrow perch clamps because the stock ones were too long to sit flush on the bars. But I ended up getting the 1FNGR levers so they provide a clutch perch which is attached to their lever.
I got the same bars for my 2023 Road Glide. Do you you have to change the clutch cable?
I added a clutch cable extension.
What kind of modification you have to do on the gauge housing ?
I grinded the plastic housing down a little below the gauges and to the side a little to make more room for the clutch cable but that was all
How’s that seat? Comfortable on long rides?
I love it, I could go all day on it but I would say my sundowner is more comfortable. I’d pick the sundowner for an actual road trip. Plus the Lucky Daves seat has no room for a passenger
