I changed mine using the Khrome Werks +2 300518 and the wiring was just long enough. No extensions needed. Not so sure I could have gotten away with two up as well. Clutch lines had to be slightly rerouted but did not need to disconnect and bleed. Just loosen the bango slightly and rotated to needed position.
It seems the stock clutch and brake lines vary in length every year model. On my 2012 FLHXSE3, I had to go plus 4 on each to get them to fit 12" Yaffee's.

Did you guys do the install yourself or did you have the dealer install them? If dealer did the install how expensive was it?

Changing the bar's on a 2014'-2015' touring is really a simple job and should be done yourself if you have a little wrench ability ... without internal wiring ... l was able to swap bars and button up whole job in less than an hour ... swapped stock bars for a powdercoated set....
Mike,...
you remove the fairing,... remove the front turn signals ... the 4 bolts associated with mounting the turn signals ... and while standing in front of the bike facing rearward ... the whole fairing pulls forward exposing the clamp assembly ...
I just put Yaffee classic 12 inch bars on with the stock cables. I think you will be fine.
I paid the dealer.
Wanted them on for a ride coming up and didn't have the time with my work being busy. They charged me a bit over $200. Well worth not having to f$&@ with it before a ride.
$200 is more than fair for install labor... :2vrolijk_21:

Any one know the dimensions of the stock Cvo bars i.e rise and pull back?
Possibly wanting to change mine for ones that have just 2" more pull back and 2" more rise would be perfect, don't want to go for apes again ( even though the voices are telling me too!).
One observation/ niggle is that I am pretty certain these Cvo bars are exactly the same as the stock ones on the street glide special I had except they are chrome plated!,
Now all the Cvo's I've had usually have more pull back than the standard model and the bars are 11/4" diameter,kinda more custom as that's what your paying for after all is it not my fellow pipsqueeks?
Anyway any suggestions on bar changes to the dimensions I am after would be appreciated. :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

Here is a side view of the Khrome Werks
Had the Wo 575's on 2 previous bikes. Was still able to use the stock mirrors. Will be doing them again on this one.
I was all set on these 575 as well , I've had WO before (14" apes on my RKC) but they do not do one to fit 2014/15 bikes, just got an email from them saying the bend is too tight for 1 1/4" bars on the new rushmores! ...... Dam, will have to rethink this .
Crap......what now????You can put on a set of these, and also have internal wired heated grips... yaffe 12" monkey bars. They revised the bars to fit 14 and 15 CVO's. I personally had WO 575 on my older SG and changed them to the monkey bars and loved them. Had to install them on the new one.
Maybe the 10".....now I have to start looking around.Keep in mind the 10" yaffee bars are more like 12's
Will the end of the handlebar be closer to the rider compared to stock.The hand grips are closer to the rider allowing you to lean back more
Keep in mind the 10" yaffee bars are more like 12's
yes they look like that!
Im thinking maybe the yaffe 8" monkey bars, i just want something thats going to be 2" back and 2" higher than stock bars, thats all.... in other words a direct replacement for the WO575 seeing as they don't fit the 2015 bikes.
When I was trying to decide on what size bars to put on, I had a forum member give me some great advise. He said: "Always go one size taller than what you think". I was originally thinking about 10" Yaffee's, so I ordered 12" and I'm glad I did. Jesse is right, the 12's are like 13's.What the mirrors brand ? And from where did you get it ?

I would also suggest getting bar mounted mirrors... you can see much better with them all around over the fairing mounted ones. Forget getting 8 inch... at least get 10's. Then if you get the 10's you will wish you put on 12's. :oops: JMHO

Hi all I'm new to this site and would like to know how long the stock upper brake line is on a 2012 flhxse3 or how long I would have to buy to get +6
I honestly can't remember if mine are 10" or 12"??(it's been a few years since I swapped them) I am on the short side (5'6") and I can see fine out of my stock mirrors. (I think they are 10")
Looks like 12's. I had 10's on 2 diffrent bikes and they sit behind the fairing. Bars look good. :2vrolijk_21:
These are 10's...

what bar's are these .... Yaffe's
never had bar's on my bike ,....but, the 10's do look nice... do stock cable's work ... no need to change out the clutch and brake line's...thx
Used the stock lines and wires... just had to remove stock mirrors and install bar mounted ones.
Paul..let me get this straight...you used the stock brake and clutch lines when you did the 10's? The rest I can do...just didn't want to crack open the brake line.
Mike
10's don't require any extensions. 12 and up will.

Yes Mike, no other changes needed to change to that 10" bar.
Hey mike...I had the 575 s for a while too. I now have the 577s. Which are 12". You can roll them back some. Made a huge improvement. I will do that again when I decide to get a new ride. Best mod you can do. Stuart
I just put Yaffee classic 12 inch bars on with the stock cables. I think you will be fine.
Pulling the pin and rolling the bars forward.....already done??Tom,
My 15 RGU CVO was purchased slightly used, wondering if the bars have already been moved??
I read someone here or elsewhere mentioning they had "moved them slightly forward of level with the forks".
Mine are already considerably forward(closer to vertical) of the forks, so have they been moved??
Where are they from the factory exactly?? I haven't been able to find a photo that shows it very well from the side.
Don't really want to pull it apart just find out they've been moved.
Great video.....stupid question......when doing these bars do you not have to remove the wiring from the connectors to get them through the bars like on pre-'14 bars?That's my understanding from reading multiple threads about it. I think I've read where there's only 6 wires in there now instead of 16.

I tried Heat Demons on my FLHXSE3 when I put the 12" Yaffee's on. They would not fit unless I reamed out the right handle bar grip, which I chose not to do. I would sure like to have them on there, so I might reconsider.
Thanks,
Cowboy
Thanks for the info. I went to Harley and asked how much it would cost to put "12 bars on my 2014 Street Glide and they told me $2000 and they had to change the brake lines and clutch. Thanks for letting me know that I can just change the bars and not cables.
I think the highest you can go on stock clutch and brake lines in 10"
Yes, only one way to find out, lol. I see a set of 10" Yaffee's in my future as well.
I hope someone finds this useful:https://youtu.be/sPvOmEvXQRs
I adjusted my bars the other day in about 30 minutes. I did not have to separate the inner and outer fairings, I removed the two screws for the inner cover for the switch and then removed the turn signals and the four bolts holding the fairing in place that are under the turn signals, remove the cover on the front below the fairing and then roll the fairing forward. it is very easy to do. I did this by myself so you should be able to get it done.
so, the dealer did my bars yesterday on my 15 cvo, said it was about 8 hours, I called today and said I'd liked them moved a little closer, and he said probably take at least 2 hours to do.
reading here, it looks like guys are saying they are doing them in 2 hours from start to finish, unless I'm reading something wrong.
he told me the fairing has to come back off, etc..
is this something I can do easily or not, if I can knock it out quick I'd rather do it myself

We just did a set of LA Choppers 10" twin Peaks on my Buddies 15- SG. The stock Brake and Clutch lines were fine. Just move around the wiring as needed and it will give you enough play in the cables. For all of the time it took (3 hrs) I am glad he bought the wire extensions. You can cut all of the stock wire ties off ( and there is a Chitt ton) and that will give you a few inches more line but it still seemed like it would have been real tight. The plug and play extensions are the way to go for the money. Keeps the wiring clean and looking neat. Don't waste the time and possible problems down the road for $25 bucks. Pulling the wires inside the bars is a 2-3 beer install for sure. Keep calm and trust me, they all fit !!. The Video is worth watching for sure as well.
Mike,
Defintely watch the video if you get a chance. He doesn't address the TBW as far as running it through the bars. Some good tips in there which will make the install go smooth. I just finished up installing a set of 10" Yaffe's this morning. On those bars the right side was a PITA to run the wires through. I ran the TBW through first and followed with the switch wires.
I did purchase a set of Namz 4" extensions which I needed. I choose NOT to un install the stock plugs for the switches from the shelf under the radio.
If you need an extra set of hands gimmie a call.
