Hey all, do we have a list here that identifies handle bars that can be installed without extensions?

I put some KST kustoms 12" mahams on my 13 SERG without having to change hoses or add wire, and they made them up for me so I didn't have to replace the clamp to a 1" , powder coated them satin black also. Bret one of the owners was great to deal with. can load up a pic later if you want

there's no comparison, these are better than the stock bars in every way, and my right fore arm don't hurt any more....love them!

I'm doing 16's on a 13 RK today for a new customer. There is a decent amount of electrical wires on the twist grip sensor but not for the control switches. I don't understand why they would do that? Also, if its the wiring part you are nervous out, there are "kits" out now with the correct colors and pins already crimped. Sure makes life a lot easier! PM me if you want to know more about that. Also just FYI. The color coded wires for the SE twist grip sensor are not correct. You don't just line up the purple wire with the purple wire etc.. I do have a cheat sheet on it thought that makes it idiot proof basically.

 I personally would not let the wiring if that is what you're worried about keep you from getting the bars you want. The leads on the SE grip sensor are long enough to run the 16" apes and you do not have to pull a wiring connector through the bars. You just pull the wires thru using a lightweight piece of chain. I have use that method many times and it just falls right thru to we're you want it in just a couple if seconds. Then you tape your wires with the pins already crimped on to your chain and pull everything and the pins snap into the connector socket after you pull the wires. You will have to buy new brake lines etc. also if you go taller. Again, if you need help give me a shout.

Another quick thing, if you end up going with bars that do require pulling wires, I highly recommend "chubbies" (1-1/4") tubing. You have I believe 17 wires on the throttle side IIRC. Possibly more on the SE bikes. Its nice to have the larger diameter tubing to ease pulling the wires through but with no connectors, just pulling as I described and maybe putting shrink wrap on the wires first really compacts them down and pulling the wires is pretty simple. The style posted above look great but that odd bend can potentially make pulling the wires around that corner a little tougher. Still worth the effort though and i think the chubby bars look better than 1" tubing anyway. "Mako Buky Bars" is another option and they are styled like the ones above and they are 1-1/2" diameter tubing. Both the ones above and the Buky's look great! The outlaws posted above look nice as well. I find the Wild 1's (all of there different bars, not just the outlaws) as that poster has seem to have the best wrist angle. Many of Wild 1's have been installed by me on customers bikes and they seem to notice that also. Riding with an awkward wrist angle gets old real quick and something to consider before you invest in new bars if you take long rides.

What model bike are you doing?

Very timely post. Went for a ride today and thought I needed to put on some taller bars. Please keep posting the pics, nothing like seeing them on the bike instead of stand alone pics in a catalog.

Running 14" Paul Yaffee Monkey Bars on my 12 CVO Road Glide.  They require the electrical cables and hydraulic cables to be lengthened.  I have been told that the 12" would not have required that, but I would check with Yaffee.

For me, it was well worth the extra money to get the exact bars I wanted.

Yaffee is making me a set of 14" Monkey bars for my 13 CVO King.  These are being specially made because I will be installing the heated grips from the 13 CVO Ultra.  My GPS will also go through the bars like on my 12 CVO road glide.

So, You can tell I like these bars, it will be two of my three bikes with them.

                                                                                                                                                                                    This is one of the bars I have looked at in chrome for my 09SERG  should be able to do without new cables . Do u think it will be the same on an 09 SERG  may have to change the bar clamp but thats ok the WOoutlaws look good with the stock crash bar.... was looking at burky bars but to make it look right I would have to change the crash bar also to match the flow....
