Wild Ones 10" apes with HD LED mirrors. Bars are so much better on my wrists. Huge difference...
Used stock clutch and brake cables.

jpdchicago Your bike looks great! I'm wanting to  add passing lamps and move the turn signals on my bike, 2014 CVO Road King. I am wondering if there were any problems during install or since? Turn signals work ok? Parts guys are telling me Harley says it won't work...I showed them the picture of your bike. Thanks

Everything works!  The Turn signals function when activated, otherwise the mirrors act as additional passing lights.
The tech who installed it has worked at that dealership for ever and knows what he is doing. I have no idea what he ended up doing but he came up with his own solution after spending over 30 mns on the phone with the Harley "help line" telling him it would not work.
I love the look and it gives me some additional safety, especially at night.

It is like replacing a bulb... unscrew bulb, screw in the CD Dynamic Ringz™ unit, install cover, done...

This is what those look like:

Did you also install a load equalizer? If not, any issues?

Did you also install a load equalizer? If not, any issues?

Load equalizer was not needed in my bike.  Everything is working fine.

Load equalizer was needed in my 2012 RGC CVO.  I was expecting to use both in the new bike, but that was not the case.  I installed the lights first and tested, after seeing that everything was working fine, I just stored the equalizer in the box of old parts...

No equalizers needed for my 14 either. I bought a set at Smoky Mountain HD in Maryville, installed them on the way back to Maggie Valley. The only think I notice is the signal light readout in the dash flashes fast, but the lights themselves flash normally. I talked to 2K while in the Valley and he did not need equilizers for his 2013 RK.

2013 and older need the load equalizer, the 14 and newer do not.  Put them on my 15 CVO before I rolled it out of the dealership the first time, did the same with the wife's road glide special.

They also make units to strobe your tail lights.  Been using them since 2011 on my 12, and every bike since, very good product.

I had the turn signals pictured above on my 2011 FLTRUSE. Didn't purchase the load equalizer as I didn't know I needed to at the time. Of course my turn signal would flash normal for 3-4 times then start blinking fast (which I didn't mind because it actually made me more visible I felt).

Anyway, this past year at Ribfest, I was showing lights to some folks and Bubba comes up. He turns on the hazards to see if they would flash fast on those as well and they did not. Then he turned the blinker back on and.....no more fast blinking! Blinked normal from then on till I traded it.

Finished adjusting the new bars after a great ride. You no longer have to remove the whole front light in order to be able to adjust forward or back. I used to have to dismantle the front light to allow access underneath the plate covering the screws that hold the handlebars on my older road king.  Love it!

You choose chrome instead black for your new bar...

[jpdchicago]

As you can see I chose a chrome theme for the top (back seat, passing lights) and now, new bars. It all fits together and looks really good in real life... and really shines in the sun...
Black bars would have been a good option too...

[TIGER]

But yes with back seat and passing it 's great !

[wachuko]

I went with what I had from the previous bike...so chromed backrest it was...I might have it powder coated black to match... But for now, since I seldom use it, does not bother me much.
