I just finished installing Factory 47 12" on my 2016 CVO RGU and I ran the wires by myself with no vise and it was very frustrating and time consuming (2.5 hours) but also very tolerable. If  I had it to do over, probably take an hour tops. The removal and installation on the bike isn't even an issue.
Remove 2 screws, unplug 3 wire harnesses and everything is exposed, not even scary.
My 12", all the wires and cables got a little snug but not bad. I can't speak to 14" but they say it can be done.

I have seen them on other 15 SERGU's.  Must be like my 09 and 12 SERG's.  I had to call and have the bars built as they do not show on their web site due to the hydraulic clutch.  Had to do the same for my 13 SERK.

Thanks, Dave.  Good info to know!

More good stuff for us to know.  Thanks Eddie!  Still hoping someone will show with Factory's or Yaffe's on their RG for me to see.

Out west on a trip.  I put 44K miles on the bike with these bars in two years

This was my 12 SERG, it has Yaffe 14" Monkey bars on it.

Does anyone have the specs on the 14 inch Factory 47 bars,  Ive read general comments about how wide, but
how wide are they tip to tip, whats the rise (presuming 14) and pullback.  For $450 need to make sure that where I want it before buying.

A lot of these talk about no heated grips, are you guys running them with the heated grips
and does the Factory 47 harness connector take that into consideration or do you end up
with the stock wires working,  I have a 16 CVORGU

If I recall correctly on the Factory 47 site it can link you to a youtube video that gives measurements.  If that isn't what you need let me know and I can measure mine for you.

I installed mine about a month ago.

I have the heated grips.  There is no connector with the bars, if you get 14" or smaller you can use the stock wiring.

You can see my RG in person at the gathering in Arkansas.

Had 12 inch Yaffe Monkey bars on my 2009 loved them made handling a dream.  Since I went to 3 wheels recently I added 10 inch LA Choppers bars 37 wide it's like added power steering to a trike.

Just finished adding KST 12" Bars to my Limited.

G'Day Y'all,

I did something a little different with Lucille's bars. I ordered a custom set from BRs Custom Bars because I wanted my hands below my shoulders for long days and my wrists straight out from my arms. The stock bars are no doubt nice for shorter folks but they they were a PITA for me. I am only 6ft but I have Gibbon arms so they felt like the handles on a wheelbarrow and did not allow me to straighten my arms out fully. They were downright dangerous in carparks etc when on full lock because they would go straight up the sleeve of my jacket and catch.

A fully custom set of bars were not cheap as they cost me $580 to my door & I had them fitted at my dealer for around $300 at the same time I had some other items added. There was not much $ difference between the factory 47s and others that were available at that time, none of which were what I wanted.

The original wiring worked just fine. Measurements/details are:1 1/2" New Wave HD 2015RG 9"R 34"W 8"PB. I got exactly what I asked for, bars that worked for me. We have probably done 15k miles on them and are still happy.

I will attach some pics.

Cheers Tom
