- Before COVID-19 interrupted our riding of the open road; we installed the Spearhead KST handlebars from the Vanguard Collection.
The handlebars come in a 3 piece unit that is a fully adjustable system, giving you the versatility to customize the look and feel of your ride. The Vanguard Collection gives you the benefits of an adjustable handlebar, without sacrificing the looks of a traditional handlebar. They are 14" bars with 1.5" OD that gives a strong meaty look!
Another cool feature is the clamping surface that is equipped with the Anti-Slip Technology ensuring a solid and strong hold with no rotation in the clamp. The Spearhead style features our signature mayhem point with a slight radius in the rise.

Finally!! The truth about whether you need to extend cables or not. So many out there that say “no”, and may get away with it, but it’s not “right”. Do it right the first time! If you can’t afford it, wait until you can - spoken by someone that has experienced the pain of swapping bars without swapping cables…because they all said you didn’t need to. Great video!
well friend, the people that make the bars said you don't need to. Just depends on whose "truth" meshes with what you want to believe eh? Definitely a BIG difference between what is FACT and what is a personal preference.
That tech is playing it safe, I have installed several of these kst’s and you don’t have to extend anything, just route your wires in safe manner and my customers have had them on for a long time and no issues. But nothing wrong with installing the extension at all, great job!!
Hey man started mine last night. Wiring under gauge cluster no problem You have any hints getting enough room on your brake clutch lines? Cut all the zip ties.
Put my 14” Spearheads on my 16 RG a few weeks ago and the only regret is I didn’t do it sooner.
I had 14" Spearheads on my 15 Road Glide when I traded it in on my 2020 Road glide I ordered the exact same bars for it the night I took it home! Just installed them last weekend! Your gonna love them! Not only do they look badass they are much more comfortable than the stock bars!
Rennie Smith hey brother,did you have to use any extensions?
I installed these same bars back in December and have not had any issues with them coming lose or moving on me. I have about 10k miles on them and I love them.
Bought my new Roadglide 2020 special from Denny's in October, they were definitely the most up front and easiest dealership I've brought from. I bought the 12" Spearhead KST, been debating on the wiring extensions.
KST Renegade on my ‘17 RG. Had them installed before I left the dealership two years ago. Most comfortable bars I have ever had.
I've put my 14inch bars on and used standard cables just run them outside of the plastic it works fine no stretch or anything.
So I got the KST Spearheads 14” and I must say they are so comfortable compared to the T Bar style I had. Quality and functionality with style!! Ride on!
not being picky..man needs to use safety glasses..have seen some bad things happen with shaving metal. I really like this video. very complete and informative.
Dude that is a sick bike but more importantly, that's an AWESOME FREAKING BEARD 👏 👌
These are the best bars I think. I have them on my 19 Roadglide ultra. So comfortable and look sweet. You picked the best with these.
Man when I see all that technical wrenching, taking stuff apart, reroute wiring, grinding stuff down, I sure love paying a certified technician to do that sh*t! Might be the first set of apes I really like.
I put them last year during Biketoberfest. I did had to retorque them back in June, but I love them. Ride safe.
I put these bars on my road glide this winter I love them
Took your advice ...I stopped by Denny's HD today ..Needed get new Willie G. Handlebar grips..Even thou ..Justin told me they were out of stock....The folks their were..Super Nice..Got a shirt to support the HD community..
Always...Support your local Biker dealership.. Bvb e around..
Opps..Damn auto spelling .
Be around
those pins break off easy with a little tap ,yes the wire extensions and a fatbagger 4' clutch extension makes installation simple with the 14' spearhead bars
Very well done! I appreciate the detailed and objective explanations. I saw these bars at Destination Daytona last week and I was impressed. I am ordering them in 12". Thanks for the video. It helped. Safe travels.
Heck yeah!! New bars. That thing will go fast now. ; ) Jokes to the side. One of the best things I ever did to my bike.
Way more leverage and control.
KST Vanguard Spearheads rock! Love mine too!
I brought home a 22 RGS yesterday and these are definitely the bars I want. Thanks for the vid and have a good ride.
did you get these bars and install? if so, any issues?
@@noresponse
Yes I did buy them and yes I had plenty of issues... I struggled getting the cables run and finally gave up.. Ended up buying another brand that was plug and play.
@@tallmike6598 thanks for the update. I got the 12" spearheads and the wiring was a PITA. Video made it look so simple, but the ends of the connectors kept getting stuck, I finally used some painters tape to round of the sharp edges. Ughhh. The clutch cable is like 3" too short, even after cutting all the zips and removing from frame holders.
Sweet looking scoot! I dig the adjustability these provide and currious how the screws/tightening will hold up. For my last 3 bikes I've had KST and currently running 12" Mayhem on my 17 SGS, and 14" Double trouble on my 18 Heritage. Shiny side up and let her rip!!
Just got back from Eureka Springs, AK
I bought KST’s for my roadmaster and love them
Been considering these bars for all the adjustments you can put them in.
I like the carlini gangster apes 14s
I just fitted 12 inch Paul Yaffe monkey bars on my 16 SGS. Love them. Top top quality.
Ride safe from Sydney Australia 👍
If you want to keep the wiring caddy, you would need to extend the wires. But that caddy is a piece of cheap plastic anyway. I have these bars since Biketoberfest 2019. Only issue is they got loose once. Some Loctite on the clamp bolts and problem solved. Ride safe and enjoy those bars.
$36 for the extension is cheap insurance against having a wire pinch at the absolute worst possible time.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly lost the login password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Gavin Crew Instablaster ;)
@Brian Kole I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Brian Kole It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass !
@Gavin Crew You are welcome :D
I put the 14" on my bike. KST did them at Biketoberfest. You don't need the extensions for the wires on the 14" it took the 45 minutes start to finish.
On my 15 road glide I didn't use the extensions it worked but it was a stretch. When I did them on my 2020 I went ahead and bought the extensions they were only $35
Nice bars. I noticed that there was no knurling on the bottom bar, hopefully they don’t move in the clamp. May get a set for mine ride.
Mine has the knurling on the chrome 14's
Made just down the road from me Bremen Georgia
Cool looking bars
I put 14" Straightjackets on mine.
Great video guys. Thanks for the info.
What is the width again on those bars I'm looking for bars under $35 in in width,
A little too wide for my comfort. Great video.
Question so you only did wire harness extension the clutch cable and brake line staid stock ? By the way beautiful glide !!
Seems y'all would have saved a little time by actually watching the KST install video specifically as it refers to the perch clamps. 🙂 Also, I noticed at 6:46 the hydraulics are "under the bar". KST recommends that they be placed above the bar. Looks like with some editing, they got it right later on.
Dig the bars man! 👍
Great video!!! Definitely installing these on my 2022 RGST! I just can't decide between the 12" or 14"'s. Your arm and hand position looks perfect on the video. If, I may ask what's your height? I'm 6' and trying to decide between 12" or 14." Thanks!!!
Sick bars!! Awesome 👏
sold on the bars what's you review on the seat ?
Did you change the bushings while your were in there?
I have a 2021 roadking special I have 14in KST bars do I need wire extensions
Bars are looking good! How y’all are you. I like the triangle the bats give. Not sure if I want to go 12 or 14 on my HDSG
Is that helmet louder than the previous? The wind noise just seemed louder than usual. But the bars look badass. Wondering how you mustang seat will do also.
how many hours labor did they charge for the install?
Bars look good and yes stay off the FU***** phone
Good video. If you (or anyone else that has the Spearheads) don't mind me asking, how do the effect the control of the bike?
Coop rant!
How tall are you?? Im 6'1" so im trying to decide on 10",12" or 14"
This would be a good time to replace the grips...
But I have only installed 12” bars with out extension
I thought KST stopped selling the clamp piece with the rubber insert. They have had several problems and now sell it with that area knurled. I have the bars with the rubber piece and the bars move and I had to buy a gorilla clamp with set screws.
I need me some new bars. But gotta sell my slightly used KLOCKWERKS 15’’ windshield first and buy a new one that’s 14’’.
I have a brand new 14" klock werks dark smoked I'm selling. It's got 40 miles on it. I had to go with the 15" . I'm 6'3" and the 14 was just a bit short. I'll give a great deal on it
Nice video I'm waiting on mine to get here but what hand guards do you have on your bike I've been trying to find some of them
Let us know how the new seat is working out thanks!
I will definitely do a follow up video on the seat!
Did you need new cable brake or clutch (21RG)
They gotta knock the riser pin loose because they can’t think of a way to make more money on it like they did all the cables
Why am I only road glide owners? Would this work on a road king?
Love the bars I have 20 road glide limited , I wanted to know about how long it took to put them on?
Thank you so much.... it took roughly 3.5 hours. That was us taking our time & figuring them out & me adjusting them a few times. These style of bars had never been installed before so it was a little bit longer.
Your rant about being on the phone while driving made me smile. I'd rather sit at a stop light/ sign for an extra 10-15 seconds while you answer a text than have you come into my lane and possibly cause an accident. STAY OFF YOUR FUCKING PHONE! Your text is NOT more important than my safety. My other ride is a Full size RAM 2500 I do nothing more than talk on the phone (hands free) because I respect the safety of those around me. There need to be greater consequences to being on the phone while driving. Sorry for ranting, not sorry. Oh, and the bars are sick. Definitely made my mind that these are my first upgrade to the new bike. Trading the street glide in for a road glide tomorrow. KST's on the street glide as well.
Exactly!!!!
How do you like them ? Any flex or anything loose?
I have only had to retorque them once & they haven't moved a bit! love them!
So you didn’t have to extend the clutch and brake cables ?
Nope, they both work just fine.
Thanks for the reconfirmation
@@TheOrneryOne I have a 21 road glide and I don’t have enough clutch and brake lines
WICH BARS DID YOU LIKE BETTER THOSE SPEARHEADS OR THE FACTORY 47S
Spearheads by far!!!
Dude Pe@rl Jam are one of the biggest copyright enforcers.
Good looking bars. Just a question: how tall are you?
Thank you so much! I am right at 6' sometimes an inch shorter.... :) depending on the day lol
The Ornery One Road Glide
Thanks. I’m 6’2 so I think I will go with 16’ bars. I’ve got a 2015 CVO Road Glide Ultra. Your videos have been very helpful: gonna go with a Memphis Shades screen too. ✌🏼
Are those the same bars from Million Dollar Bogan? Nice!
How does it handle in turns and slow speed maneuvering
I have a question, instead of grinding that pin off, couldn’t you drill a hole in the handle bars for it? But, it still looks good.
You would need a slot not just a hole for adjustment. The pin grinds off very easy. The bars are stainless steel drilling a hole would be much more difficult.
Cool... I’m still waiting for your response to all that’s happening
With the M8?? All we know is that there was a malfunction... unfortunately we don’t know the details. HD corporate requested it back and that they wanted to tear into it. We may not ever know what the cause or details are.
I put same bar only chrome
Did you replace the clutch and brake cables? I am thinking of going with the same 14" bars on my 2022 Road Glide.
below he says "no", neither were extended.
On your mustang seat can you use a harley-davidson backrest ? Or do you have to get the one from mustang? Thanks
That is a good question.... I wish we could because I like the adjustable HD backrest so much better. But with the Mustang Seat being a solid pan... you have to use their backrest.
Did you upgrade your radio to the new style? I can’t remember when you got the RG after your old one was stolen
Unfortunately no.... our radio is still the stock.
Can SpearHeads be fitted to 2019 Street Glide Special UK spec, as I can't find an installation videos on KST Kustoms site?
Good Question... I can definitely ask my contact to see if that is possible.
What size are the bars and the bottom. At the triple trees? 1-1/2"
Don't trip. I'll figure it out.
Drilling is apparently non-optional.
Just watched this and I was wondering if you had any problems with KST answering any of your question. I’m still waiting patiently on them to email me back.
We haven't & I am so sorry to hear this! What is your question maybe we can help? Did you email them from their website by chance?
@@TheOrneryOne I’m trying to get a price and see if they will do the install at bike week but I haven’t heard back from anyone. Thanks for responding I really appreciate it
@@carlstrickland3770 Of course! They will be at Daytona Bike Week the whole rally. They normally set up right outside of J&P Cycles during Bike Week. This time of year is a little crazy for everyone being the beginning of rally season! No excuses though :) Email us your full name & email so I can pass it along. I will try to get some answers for you. tj@theorneryone.com
If they had watched the KST video, you would not need the extensions, and they would not have struggled to get the wiring into the handle bar. Jeez.
If they had watched the KST video, they would have known they needed to cut the pin in the handle bar.
Watch what the manufacture recommends. How does Harley override?
You don’t NEED extensions,ok✌️
Those look bad ass, I just put a set of 12”s on my ultra classic, and $1700 later (after F ing up my wires) I’m back on the road. Also where did you get those wind deflectors for your hands? Keep the rubber side down!
Memphis shades sells them... They are great!!!
You need to flip that phone mount down so it's not peeking in the air
