Factory 47 14'' bars installed w/ stock clutch cable 2021 Road Glide Limited

I was able to install a set of the Factory 47 14'' handle bars on my 2021 Harley Davidson Road Glide Limited using the stock cable. Did have to remove the top half of the cable and then re-route it in order to get it to reach the lever. I will be getting the longer cable if and when it is available. Thanks for watching and ride safe. Cliff

Thanks for doing this video man. I've got a 2022 Road Glide ST and I ordered the same bars from Dennis Kirk and they told me that the stock cables would fit but my Harley shop said anything over a 12 inch bar you need extended cables so I bought the extended cables to go with the bars; I'm glad I did.

[@telefrk49]

Cool brother!! I just put a deposit on a 2022 Road Glide Special, and ordered the same bars. Thank you!!

[@nomargins]

Yeah I have those bars on my 17 roadglide l installed on myself I just wasn't comfortable with how tight there was so instead of doing all the other stuff I just let the dealer pull them in Hey it's Harley. Plus I had those black cables changed out changed out to Chrome or stainless steel but I had the black cables changed out. I got it but thanks for the video and the information because you're the only one that I've watched that admitted what you did to it.✌🏽👍🏼👍🏼

Did you come across an issue with the amount of slack you had on your controls? I have my wires ran but I can’t clip the control system around the bar due to not enough slack. Any tips??

[@larrywilson7933]

What causes the throttle to “stick” or not “snap back” is, they are pushed forward too tight against the switch housing.

[@larrywilson7933]

That’s what does it! If you push it too tight against the housing, it’ll stick. (ask me how I learned that lol)

I believe he is right. Don't really remember.

Just an FYI the pin is only on the wrong side for the limited/CVO models. I have a '21 Road Glide Standard model and the pin is in the correct place with the factory 47 14" bars. I like how you ran your wires through. Came to watch because I ordered heated grips so now I am going to have to tear mine apart again.

[@redrider0151]

Great video man!!! Few things I did different...I put the entire cable in sheathing and shrink wrapped it up top at the controls and the cables didnt get hung up at ALL in my bars...then just cut it at the bottom. Turned out super nice even though no one will ever see it :D. The other thing was my controls had nubs on them that had to be knocked off before the controls could be mounted...I assume yours did to, you just didnt show it unless the 47 bars have holes for them too....which they may (I got LA choppers and they didnt). FANTASTIC video brother!!!

[@cliffcares6455]

I did have to remove these tabs for my last bars but not with the Factory 47 bars. They had the holes for them. I did finally get the Harley extended clutch cable and ran it the same as the OEM cable.

I had a 2017 and put 14s on them and had no problem getting the clutch or front brake to fit. But this year has been a nightmare for me. I called the harley dealership and they told me previously the rule of thumb has been no more than 16 inch bars or else you will have to reroute or extend the cables. Well this year it's now no more than 12 inch according to them. It's frustrating the nickel and dime that harley makes us go through to accomplish something as simple as putting bars on
