My 14's are on the way as we speak. I'm 6' and was debating if 14 or 16 was going to be best. This video has made me 100% happy with my decision to go 14s.

@@ItsTruble There is about 8 of us running handlebars on our street glides/road glides with 12”-16” bars. All of us have zero issues when it’s warm. However we live in the Northeast and when it gets colder out. Such as below 45° you will feel it on your hands. You can always buy a pair of Memphis shades hand guards for the cooler temps or gloves or heated grips. 99% of our riding is in warmer temps

Back in 2005 when I knew nothing about Harley Davidson’s, other than the fact that I wanted one, I got a softail deluxe and put some 18 inch ape hangers on it. I am a 6 foot tall man. And I got the bright idea to ride from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara, and I regretted it. as of now I have a 2023 road glide and I’m definitely going to get the 14 inch factory 47’s. Thank you for this video.

Agreed. I'm also 6-4 and I run 14" Vindikta's on my 2012 Road-Glide. I could have probably gone with 16" but I did'nt want to sacrifice control and maneuverability.

i’ve always been down with bars, thought I would do a 10-12 inch but I just rolled from Colorado to Alabama and back and I shocked myself. I ride LH with a tour pack in my second rider position on a 20 road glide with a king tour pack. Anyway 3200 miles/8 days and I thought my arms and back would be killing me but to the contrary the factory bars were perfect. Yes I got a ride through 5k service and a new front tire in Tuscaloosa @ T town Harley. If they were 2 to 3 inches up and 1-2” back it would be ideal for both touring and give me a better “ look “ when I’m rolling slow. I am a big 6 foot 185. I used to be 6 foot 260. I also ride more motocross style, I am “up” and chest our controlling the bike. A note there were a lot of dead bugs on my mirrors so you want to make sure that your grips don’t go too high without additional protection. I love my fingers and so do my ladies. You need to protect your digits.

I think I’m going to go with 16 inch Carlini gangster ape hangers. Compared to the 9 inch mini aprs on there now. My arms may be a little angled upward. But the styling is killer!

I’m in the market for new bars- between the kst and the factory 47 I’m a female -5’5 with a stock handlebars of 9” on a 22 RG Height? Do a 12 or a 14 ? And, I’m concerned about the width on the factory 47 - on the 14s it’s 37” on the 12 it’s 36 the kst that can be adjusted - thoughts?

Hey, just wanted to ask you as I am with the same dilemma , between 12" and 14". I'm 6´1" and most people like to go high and recommend the 14" but I don't want to lose maneuverability and ride a bit sporty in turns and fast; so I wondered if 12" would do the trick. What did you end up getting?. I ride a Road King Special and the stock bars are 9" tall with 36" width and max 5"-6" pullback ...and just can´t reach the bar without arms full stretch and being stiff as a wooden stick ..... so upper back is in constant pain and I feel like am on top of the bike with almost no arm length to turn with some flex :P
