I've test ridden a couple of '25 Tri Glides and they have a very low hand grip design.  I see just a bit of clearance in front of the bars into the inner fairing, but not sure if they can be swung forward a little bit or not to help the angle just a bit.

My question is this, do the CVO Tri Glides have a taller handlebar setup over stock Tri Glides???

I changed out the bars on my '09 SERG and I should have put on a new clutch hose, but decided to just drill a hole in the frame sheet metal and run the hose through the frame.  This shortened the required length back to being able to use the stock clutch hose.  I went from what Harley said were 8" bars to 10" bars, and that was just the right amount to get my elbows up and out with a much straighter wrist angle.

I hear that the '14 up models are easier to swap out bars.  Have any of you done bars?  If so, what height can you do with original wires and cables without having to get new parts, other than the bars of course?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, starting in 2014 they came with longer wiring...

Dan, I'm on my third Tri-Glide and have swapped bars on all three.  WildOne 578s on the 2018, Khromewerks 2+2 narrow sweepers on the 2020 and now KST 12" six bend bars on the 2024.  Lot of the trike guys and gals like the 2+2 sweepers which come in narrow and wide versions.  I liked them ok as I did the WildOnes but I gotta say I really prefer the KSTs to all.  They told me there 'should' be just enough slack so no extensions needed.  But just to be safe I went with 4" over on the cable clutch and got wiring extensions for the switch pack controls.  Was able to cut zip ties and free up the front brake line sufficiently so nothing needed there.  Hope this helps.
