Pioneer Handlebars for 2014-2022 Road King

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 an 11" base width (outside to outside) and 1" clamping diameter
• Knurled clamping surface for a solid hold with no rotation in the clamp
• Slotted for easy 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 King bars are 10")
• Can be purchased pre-wired — see KST's pre-wired options when you order

INSTALLATION

2014–2020 Road King Standard: with a stock hydraulic clutch, up to a 14" rise installs with the stock brake and clutch lines (wire extensions needed); with a mechanical clutch, up to 12" installs stock. 2021–2022 Road King Standard: the 10" and 12" rises install without replacing the brake and clutch (wire extensions needed); the 14" rise requires a clutch extension and wire extensions. Professional installation is recommended.

QUESTIONS RIDERS ASK

What does “3-piece adjustable” mean?
The bar is built in three pieces so the grip angle and position can be adjusted for comfort, while keeping the look of a traditional one-piece ape hanger.

Do I need new cables for a 12" rise?
On Road King Standards, no — the 10" and 12" rises keep the stock brake and clutch; wire extensions are needed. The 14" rise on 2021–2022 bikes requires a clutch extension.

PRE-WIRED OPTION

As listed, this bar ships unwired — there is no pre-wired selection on this listing. The pre-wired route for this bar is the separate KST Fully Pre-Wired Bundle for 2014–2023 Touring: add the bundle to your cart along with this handlebar, and the bar is loaded with the left and right hand switch harnesses, the throttle-by-wire sensor harness, and a heated-grip splice if needed before it ships. The bundle's extended full-length harness accommodates handlebars up to 16" and does not require an additional CAN bus wire extension, and its heated-grip choices include new Avon Air Cushion heated grips. The bundle must be purchased together with a handlebar.

Note: the pre-wired bundle is not available for Road King Special models, which run bar-mounted turn signals.
