KST Kustoms Mayhem Bagger Handlebar Install On A Harley Davidson

KST Kustoms Mayhem Bagger Handlebar Install On A Harley Davidson. It's winter and time for another install. In this video I will be ditching the stock handlebars for some KST Kustoms 10" Mayhem Bagger Handlerbars. It's been a long time coming but now they are finally installed. I'll take you through the steps I took to get all the wiring out of the stock bars and into the new ones. This is a lengthy video but it is also a lengthy process to make sure it is done right. #handlebars

Good evening sir my name is Xavier just wanted to drop a note. I think your video is one of the best out there in KZbin land. Just can’t believe you don’t have enough following with this great information procedure on the bike and handle installation but kudos to you. I’m sure whoever sees your video appreciates everything you’ve done for us that are learning thanks again brother from apopka Florida. If you’re ever in Florida look us up Sons of combat vmc ..very small group dedicated X airborne ranger soldier

[@SinisterClutch]

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I appreciate the kind words and means a lot. I hope the video helps someone that is thinking of doing a handlebar install. I really enjoy doing install videos but there is only so many things I can install on my bike. Maybe I need a second bike ha. I was actually in Florida last year in Port Charlotte for a World Record Poker Run. Take care brother and enjoy the ride✌🤙👊💯

[@bobmorrone6014]

In my opinion this is by far the best instructional video I have seen. I'm definitely going to do my own now because of this video. Thank you.

[@SinisterClutch]

Thank you sir! Appreciate you watching and let me know if you have any questions. Take care and enjoy the ride✌️🤙

[@ChopperFett]

Wow man this was incredibly awesome walkthrough. Internal wiring is no joke either. Great work!!!

[@SinisterClutch]

Yeah I kept thinking…”I hope all this electrical works after I’m done”🤣😂. I enjoy working on my bike so that helps a lot. Thanks for watching 💪👊💯

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

Absolutely love my Milwaukee M12 ratchet. Shimmying the lever to not snap off the tab on the clutch and brake levers is really an annoying design. Its snapped on me a few times over the years. I'm seriously thing of installing the nostalgic heated grips on the revival. (commenting as I'm watching) I know how many hours it took to do this task and this video is gold for someone wanting to tray and save some serious coin. Out freak'n standing video Randy. Eric

[@SinisterClutch]

Thank You Eric! It is a long process but I do enjoy working on my bike and I can tell you do too. I always say if I can help one person it’s worth it. Heated grips would be a nice addition. The more comfort the better. Appreciate all the support. Take care💯👊🤘

[@GlidingOnTwos]

Superb video install Randy. You made that look real easy. Better late than never on catching the bars being bent. Glad KST resolved that for you. 👍🏾

[@SinisterClutch]

Yeah they took care of me and quick to respond. Appreciate you watching 👊💯💪

[@patrickhollis5332]

Yea they all look easy they just cut out the throwing fits and things LOL my problem is patience with wiring I’d rather take a beating

[@HDVIBE]

Good stuff Randy. I'll be watching this in full later today. I'm very interested in learning how to do a bar change. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe. 👊👍🇺🇸

[@SinisterClutch]

Thanks Rick. If you have any questions let me know. Appreciate you watching 👊🤘

[@tennwingman3350]

Good job Bro! Thanks for the video and sharing with us. Be safe, have fun.

Thank You! Hope you and you’re family are doing well. Take care✌️

Absolutely fantastic "how to" video mate, top job. Bars look great man!

[@SinisterClutch]

Thanks so much! I just need some more time to crush some miles. Stay warm and safe bro🤙

[@TheBlueBikeDoyle]

I got to get my bar put on mine . KST Custom is just down road from me . Good people 👍

[@SinisterClutch]

Yeah they were great to work with. Very helpful

[@larry68hd11]

Nice job on the install. Thats the bars i had on my 2017 and going to put on my 2021 Street Glide.

[@SinisterClutch]

I love them so far. Looking forward to some long distance riding as soon as all this bad weather goes away. Stay well and enjoy the ride 🤙👊💯

[@RidingHumboldtCounty]

Oh nice install Randy! I’m a big fan of the bagger bars.

[@SinisterClutch]

Thank You! Appreciate all the support 🤙

[@HarleyGurl114]

Harley Gurl Wow!! Another great install as always. Very detailed and although I know it is not easy to do, especially the threading of the cables/wires inside the bars, you make it look easy. Patience....you show that you have that. GOOD stuff Great install!! Bummer about the bent bars! Good that they replaced them for you. Those bars look awesome!!!

[@SinisterClutch]

Yeah KST has great customer service. It definitely took a lot of patience to do the install and filming it too. Thank You🤙

[@RobertS81658]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

Great job on the install brother, I like the way that you walked through this one, it will definitely be a video that will help out anyone that is thinking of changing out there bar's, and big kudos to KST for taking care of you on the bent bar's, again, awesome install brother💯👊🏽😎

[@SinisterClutch]

Yeah I definitely got good experience changing handlebars🤣. Now I just need to do some riding.

[@OZARKSHDRIDERS]

@@SinisterClutch I agree with that brother💯

[@WeRideWV]

Awesome install. As far as garage install, bars can be the most challenging to do. Great job brother 🤘

[@SinisterClutch]

Thanks Adam and yes it is. Even more so when you are filming it 🤣😂

[@JoneszsRides]

Great install Randy. Man you going through all that made it look easy. 🤣 I wouldn’t even attempt it. Again great stuff👍🏻🇺🇸

[@SinisterClutch]

Greatly appreciated Scott. It definitely takes time and patience. But I saved a lot of money and it’s nice to know how everything works. I enjoyed the process. 🤙✌️💯

Thanks bro🤘🤘

[@GoofyBastard]

You did a great job on those bars!!! Man that was definitely a labor intensive job. I’m sure glad mine weren’t like that. They’re looking good brother!!!

[@SinisterClutch]

Appreciate it! Yeah if I didn’t film it then it wouldn’t have taken so long 😂🤣. Patience is key.

[@TweedleD]

Look at you Big baller with power tools and no cussing. Lol great video you just forced me to do my own install when I get cruise control on my breakout.

[@SinisterClutch]

I love working on the bike. You ride it you wrench it. That’s how we learn right. You definitely need cruise control. I can’t go back to a bike without it. Take care bro👊🤙

[@MrAyarza]

Nice and very clear information. Thanks for sharing

Great job on this one

[@TheBadgers]

Great video you made it look easy. Sucks you have to do it twice, but at least they sent you a new one.

[@SinisterClutch]

Yeah I feel pretty qualified as a handlebar installer 🤣😂

[@IndiansAuto]

I love how easy this was for you lol. I lost my shit doing this job!!! I didn’t buy extensions, i cut and soldered the same gauge. Wire in between.

[@SinisterClutch]

Oh I cussed multiple times 😂😂. Definitely save money soldering. I saw where someone rerouted the wires for the switches to make it work. Appreciate the feedback 🤙

[@IndiansAuto]

@@SinisterClutch guys at KST made it look so easy lol.

@@SinisterClutch support for the motorcycle KZbin community 1st priority

[@CDLNEPA]

People wonder why these jobs cost so much when you have the dealer do them. Alot of work, but very satisfying to do it yourself

[@SinisterClutch]

Yes it is and I save a good amount of money doing it myself. Plus you learn a little more about your bike.

[@rollinstone1969]

Look good I videoed my install but it was taking to dam long to do, so I scraped that. How do they feel? I put the wild one chubbies on mine but I might change them

[@SinisterClutch]

So far I like them but I need more riding. Too much bad weather anymore. I had a lot of video I cut out. Editing took a long time too. Take care brother 🤙

[@HDMann292]

great vid, do you think if ya would of went 14" the fairing mirrors could of stayed and you would be able to see using them?

[@SinisterClutch]

Yes I’m 100% sure they can stay with 14” bars. I’ve seen Street Glides with 14” bars and kept them.

[@DerrickRollins-rh4xw]

Did you say that 12 inch would have worked also with factory cables and lines?

[@SinisterClutch]

Yes you don’t need extended cables for brake and clutch cables. You do need extensions for the switch housing wiring harness.

[@MRGS48]

As I am fighting the idea of changing the looks of my RKS I sat on a heritage-after the Harley Faster Further event at my local dealer- with I believe 14’ bars and loved how they felt on my broken by Uncle Sam back lol. Question is did you get longer lines or not? Thank great share bud!

[@SinisterClutch]

No you won’t need longer clutch and brake cables unless you go above 12”. I just removed the zip ties to get slack in the cables. Also the clutch cable is pushed to the right of the bike so I moved it to the left and had plenty of length.

[@rogerfletcher4206]

Hey there. Great video. I refuse to pay the dealer a couple grand to do this. What kind of time commitment am I in for? 32:31

[@SinisterClutch]

I think 4 hours is sufficient. It took me longer because I filmed it. Just lay everything you need out and it will go faster. The wiring for the new bars is the most time consuming part because you don’t want to bind or snap anything. Appreciate you watching and commenting. Let me know if you have questions. Take care✌️

[@marco-tiopet4020]

😍🤩👍✌

[@SinisterClutch]

Marco Thank You so much🤙✌️

[@TylerSmith681]

Hi I loved the video. Was just wondering how tall you were? I'm about 5foot 7inches tall and was looking to change out my bars and I got told to go with 12in kst but think they are to tall for me. Also how do you like th 10in bars? Are they comfortable on long rides?

[@SinisterClutch]

Thanks for watching and commenting. I’m 5’10” and love the handlebars. Since installing them I’ve put over 10K miles on the bike and they are very comfortable. I feel more relaxed on long rides and wished I’d installed them sooner. I thought about 12” handlebars but I ride in cold weather and wanted to keep my hands behind the fairing as much as possible. If I remember correctly they are more like 10 3/4”. Hope this helps 🤙

[@TylerSmith681]

@@SinisterClutch Thank you very much!! This helps a lot. I ride in cold weather too being up here in central New York. So keeping warm is always important when its below freezing.

[@michaeltourtillott8512]

can you use the stock riser bushing bolts or do you need longer ones when changing bushings cuz my bushings didn't come with new bolts

[@SinisterClutch]

You can use the stock bolts. Mine was a kit so came with new ones. They are the same length. Hope that helps🤙🤙

[@michaeltourtillott8512]

Awesome thanks man, I didn't want to start taking everything apart just to find out I need different bolts. Definitely be using this video to walk me through it cuz you did a great job explaining everything. Thanks again, time to get these bushings and bars on.

[@SinisterClutch]

@@michaeltourtillott8512 Awesome glad I could help🤘🤘

[@klchristian1522]

How long did the installation take

[@SinisterClutch]

It took me 8 hours because I filmed everything and made sure it all looked good. I would say 4 hours with no filming.

[@KOJAKLAKWATSERO]

oooo dbaaaa....nice vlog...very informative paps....love your cool bike....keep enjoying life....im all set on you paps and hope you can visit my humble garage too

[@SinisterClutch]

Appreciate you watching! Take care ✌️

[@joehengels5409]

Great video. Using the same setup as you. Question is does the turn signal wires come out off the housing and then go into the bars?

[@joehengels5409]

@@SinisterClutch hey brother. Your video is the only one I have seen that leads me to believe this. I have been struggling to get the wires to stay inside of the housing. Any chance you could send me a pic of how they rout out of the housing. I’d really appreciate it

[@SinisterClutch]

@@joehengels5409 Let me explain this in detail. So by factory the Switch Housing for the turn signals wiring harness is on the outside of the bars as you can see at 8:20 in the video on the left and 10:00 on the right. At 19:25 I start to show that I'm installing the right switch housing inside the new KST Bars by taping it to the paracord attached to the braided steel wire.

[@joehengels5409]

Again, great video. Got the bars on and controls mounted. I noticed the heated grips are the same as the ones I bought. Can I ask how you wired them in? Thanks again for your help

[@SinisterClutch]

@@joehengels5409 So the heated grips came with a 10” extension wire for the left side that you definitely need. The right side already has the wire ran from factory which is part of the throttle by wire. For my particular heated grips I had to connect a wire harness to the battery so I took the tank off and ran the wire alone the frame. Also I’m a fan of soldering so that was my choice of how to connect the wires. Sorry I don’t have a video on that because I wasn’t on KZbin when I originally installed them. Hope this helps

[@joehengels5409]

@@SinisterClutch hey no problem. Yes I looked and didn’t see one. I’d like to pick your brain if I could. I have the red with a fuse goes to battery. A black which is ground and a orange/ white to accessory power. Thanks again

[@RidingHumboldtCounty]

Unfortunately I had to pay someone to install mine lol 😂

[@SinisterClutch]

Yeah I looked into it and was like I think I can do it and save money 🤣😂
