14" KST Straight Jacket Handlebars

[@jonathongallant9105]

Another item you have fit that I need at some point. Look really nice, I know what you mean about the pain in the wrist after a few hours, in 5'10 tall, I bet these would help a lot. Great helpful video , thanks 👍

Nice looking ride. I’m new to road king and just watching tons of videos.

[@weldermike7017]

Really looks great! Good job man everything on the bike flows perfect!

Beautiful Road King

Cheers Dave, fitted the very same bars on mine today after watching you vlog, great set up.

loving the new bars. They look great and look way more comfortable!

[@harleydave2316]

Thanks for stopping by and I enjoy your channel.

[@BoDean52]

First time channel and nice bars. I put 10’s on my Ultra Limited and wish I went 12”. Yours look great, be safe

[@harleydave2316]

Thanks for watching

[@Method_MOK]

have these in polished on my '13 FLHRC, also 14" and for my 6'2" frame ideal fit with knuckles a little below shoulders. KST was a must for me as i wanted SS polished, not chrome over mystery metal.

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

dang that's a nice bar man

14's are the perfect height in my opinion. What a gorgeous bike.. I want one soooo bad! Ride safe!

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

14" is the best size for everyone

[@YoursInYeshua]

Hi Harley Dave! Is there a way to do a video that details what you did to your current slipon configuration? I think you using a 4.5" Bam Stick with the Zombie baffle and then you also slipped in some V&H Twin Slash Cut baffles somehow and then you also have a torque ring insert of sorts as well. I could be wrong on some of that, but I was just wondering if you can list part numbers of the twin slash baffles and torque rings and describe or even show how things fit inside your bam stick.

[@harleydave2316]

Are you thinking of trying Tab?

[@YoursInYeshua]

@@harleydave2316 Possibly down the road. Just curious at the moment. It's hard to get the right sound imo and I love the way yours sounds.

[@harleydave2316]

@@YoursInYeshua I will think of how to make a video on that without having to remove the slipons or parts I used. She's definitely loud but also provides a good amount of back pressure. I currently love my modified Tabs.

[@harleydave2316]

How are you liking your new cam and tune?

[@YoursInYeshua]

@@harleydave2316 That would be great for a video :) I love my new cam. The tune is likely good, but in 6th gear, the bike is gutless. Is yours like that too? If I'm a 75 and floor it, it doesn't really increase speed. Super slowly...

[@cdanegelis11]

Hi, I was looking at getting these handlebars. The one thing that concerns me is the throttle play. I saw a video from KST saying that the throttle moves a bit more than other bars. Is is that noticeable?

[@JarheadSixRides]

Looks amazing.

[@james4032]

What is the pull back or part number of the bars? Love the look.

Looks good Dave. I’m getting them my 04 road king with the 16” straight jackets. Are the 14’s at shoulder height

[@williampierce3762]

Dang I went with carlini and had the custom shop install them . And I'm 2k invested.

[@harleydave2316]

Holy cow! $2k for bars/cables? I'm not putting you down but that is expensive.

[@flyingrider171]

Nice bike What hand grips you have on it?

[@harleydave2316]

Those are Avon grips. They are quite comfortable.

[@wb4514]

At 1:48 you mention how hard it was to run the wires through the bars , but at 1:31 it shows a photo of prewired bars ?

[@harleydave2316]

Hello. Not understanding your question. The handlebars don't come prewired so maybe it's just the order of conversation and pictures that confused you? Thanks for watching!

[@wb4514]

@@harleydave2316 At 1:31/1:32 does it not show a picture of the bars (that I assume you were installing)? They appear to be pre-wired. At 1:48 your comment was how running the wire through the bars was a little difficult, maybe the photo shows the bars after you wired them ?

[@RB-tx4mn]

@@wb4514 He left them wrapped while installing the wires.

[@derekb5749]

I just changed mine and the connector for the throttle got stuck. Ended up having to cut the bars to get them out and had to buy a new throttle cable since I broke that too...Funny running the wires to me too 10 minutes. I cut the factory insulation off (a tech recommended) and wrapped them in e-tape to make it thinner. I just soaped up the wires and they came through easy. Now the problem for me was the local dealer didn't know that the special has "special" wiring and sold me the wrong extended cables, and somehow I lost front blinkers, even though the running light works.

[@harleydave2316]

Lol I had to cut my old bars too!! Thanks for sharing your story with me.

[@johne6525]

Looks bad ass Bro!!!

[@johnford3761]

Still have these bars? How are they holding up?

[@harleydave2316]

I dont have this bike anymore but use KST on 2 of my others and love them.

[@ridered7394]

I just picked up same exact bike 2020, I would have agree the stock bars are terrible

[@charleyrider9775]

I'm thinking about going with those bars on my road king, but I'm on the shortside and I'm wondering if 14 would be too tall. How tall you are you?

[@rira65]

Awesome look!! Maybe could have had a better look at the bars without the windshield..👍

[@princealbalushi2445]

You said the clamping point in the handlebar was 1 inch so do you changed the Riser. Plz waiting for your reply

[@gregshubert1785]

I have family in crawfordsville. Cool

[@joshuaturner4178]

Are those just 10” wire extensions?

[@Steve-qn8gn]

I bought 10" extensions for my '21 road king special, it was over kill, 4" would have been enough. I also had to extend the clutch cable with a fat baggers 4" clutch cable extender. Thats for '21 and up, the previous years didn't need extension up to 14" from what I understand.

[@timothytamez1431]

did you have to buy extended brake lines, clutch cables, and throttle cables? or did the stock cable lengths work?

[@harleydave2316]

Stock worked for those but I had to extend control cables. You can go up to 14" with what you mentioned

[@harleydave2316]

Out of all my past bikes, this is the best windshield. The flap in the middle let's you control wind and buffeting levels and buffeting is not an issue with it.

I got a set of kst pathfinders with avon grips for my harley road king special. Im having trouble with the right side controls. It looks like im about a 1/8 inch or so out from where the controls should be sitting. The left side is perfect. It almost seems the grip isnt going all the way on. Are they supposed to click in or as long as they are catching the fly by wire its ok? Not sure what im doing wrong. I took it off twice now and im still 1/8 inch off.

[@buggoe]

Beauty!! Got a 2022 RKS black and just put 12" KST Straight Jackets and waaaay better than the stock things HD calls handlebars. Agree in that these bars keep the classic look alive although the pointed ones are bitchin' too!

[@buggoe]

@@cdanegelis11 Yes there is some play but nothing to concern about. The stock grip play is to avoid any chance the throttle could get jammed,..as I think. I upgraded to HD Airflow grips and have play there as well..think play is built in.

[@cdanegelis11]

@@buggoe is there that much more play in the throttle compared to the stock? Or is about the same?

[@buggoe]

It’s about the same. The play is the grip sliding on the handlebar handle. It has nothing to do with the throttle movement.

So beyond unpinning the connectors, any other recommendations? The dealer wants to charge me $1000 to install because they said “everything had to be extended”. But after your experience, I think u can do it myself, especially since you didn’t have to extend the clutch and brake lines. Thanks for any help
