The Pathfinder is KST's squared-off Vanguard Collection bar for the new Road Glide — a 3-piece fully adjustable system with a smooth radius in the rise that comes out of the base clamp at a 90-degree angle for a strong, robust look.
FITMENT
Designed specifically for the 2023 CVO Road Glide and 2024–2026 Road Glide models.

SPECIFICATIONS
3-piece fully adjustable Vanguard Collection design — adjustable-bar versatility with a traditional one-piece look
Material: 304 ornamental-grade stainless steel, CNC mandrel bent
1.5" outside diameter with a 13" base width (outside to outside) and 1.25" clamping diameter
Knurled clamping surface for a solid hold with no rotation in the clamp
Notched and slotted for internal wiring
Finishes: Polished stainless steel (hand polished — the look of chrome with the durability of stainless) or High Gloss Black powder coat, from the same supplier Harley-Davidson uses
Rises: 10", 12" and 14" (stock Road Glide bars are 10")
Available bare, fully pre-wired, and with a 4" clutch extension — pick your install option above
INSTALLATION
10" and 12" rises install with the stock brake line, clutch and electrical. The 14" rise requires a clutch extension (choose the install option that includes it) — the brake line stays stock. Wiring runs inside the bars; KST's 3-piece design makes internal wiring straightforward. Note: the riser on 2024–2026 models sits about 2.5" higher than on 2015–2023 Road Glides, so a 10" bar sits like a 12" did on the earlier bikes. Professional installation is recommended.
QUESTIONS RIDERS ASK
How is the Pathfinder different from the Pioneer? Both are adjustable Vanguard bars; the Pathfinder has a custom squared-off top with a smooth radius in the rise, while the Pioneer is the traditional tight-bend ape hanger.
Do I need a clutch extension? Only at the 14" rise. The 10" and 12" install with the stock brake, clutch and electrical.
PRE-WIRED OPTION
This bar is available fully pre-wired — choose one of the Fully Pre-Wired choices under Install Options above. The bar arrives with KST's electrical harnesses already installed and extended: with the Fully Pre-Wired option the harnesses are already extended, so there is nothing extra you need to purchase for the wiring, and the pre-wired harness is extended to work with handlebars up to 16" tall. When the bar arrives, plug in the switch controls, plug into the motorcycle, and you're ready to ride.
