2024+ Street Glide Handlebars WITHOUT Removing the Fairing
มุมมอง 10K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
You no longer have to remove your entire fairing to replace your handlebar on the 2024 Harley Street Glide! This saves about an hour or more on a bar change. The entire replacement took me 2.5 hours. This video shows how the bars are replaced with the fairing on the bike, the way the Harley service manual explains it. TOOLS NEEDED: 3/8” drive torque wrench (16-18 ft-lbs) 3/8” drive ratchet 1/4”...

If I just want to adjust my bars instead of replacing them do I need to remove the exterior fairing?
You will not need to remove the fairing if you are just adjusting the bars. Just remove the media tray and loosen the two lower bolts. Adjust bars then tighten them to spec.
Do these not come in an amber turn signal?
You’ll have to contact Custom Dynamics. As far as I’m aware, no, they don’t make an amber turn signal on the saddlebag lights.
Excellent video, Just installed 12" KST Bison Bagger bars on my 2024 Street Glide. Using this video and KST's install video I was able to install my bars without having to remove the fairing. Also, KST has amazing service and quality products. Thanks to Brandon for his help and quick responses to my questions. One of the best detailed videos on youtube and I can also say the same about KST's install videos.
Thanks, I'm glad I could help!
New Sub here, going to install KST 12" Bison bars on my 24 Street Glide standard. Question, its my understanding that you can remove the p-clips from the triple tree holding the brake and clutch cable with a right angle T27 standard lenght or (extra long) correct? Without removing the entire fairing correct? Also, Im a little confused KST is telling me you need to purchase a longer clutch cable or a fat baggers extension if you use the stock clutch cable, for the clutch cable to reach and work correctly. Can you clarify this for me please. It would be great not to have to remove the entire fairing. Thanks in advance, great great video.
Yes, a right angle torx will do the trick removing the p-clips, that is what I used. As far as using the stock brake and clutch lines, it depends on the height of your bars. I did not have to change anything when I installed Harley Tallboy bars, which are about 2” taller than stock (about 11”). You will need to check yours when you install the bars. You will not need to remove the whole fairing if you follow this video, even if you need to swap clutch lines.
@@BrandonsHarley Thanks for the quick response and input. Im looking forward to following your channel.
Thanks
Does the warning light on the dashboard come on?
Mine did not. These are the only lighting changes I’ve made. If you’ve installed other lights, you may need to install Custom Dynamics’ load leveling kit to prevent the dash light and/or hyperflashing turn signals.
Great video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
This video and the one from KST kustoms I know exactly what to do. … your way is a whole lot easier.
I installed these as well as the lighting bars for the tour pak on a 24 RG....now get fast flashing turn signals. I tried doing a BCM sync and clearing codes that it threw, but did not work. Custom dynamics says I need to install a dynamic load isolator to clear codes and stop fast flashing turn signals. They said HD lowered load parameters on BCM to make it harder to use aftermarket lighting. Any experience or thoughts with this issue?
@@bradleysimon1811 as custom dynamic states that is what you will have to do. That typically happens if you replace or install more than one pair of lights.
Great video. I changed the bar on my 24 Street Glide to the Tall Boy using this video as a reference and it went very well. The only problem that I had was getting the throttle side electrical cable through the new bar. I would love to know how you did it since that was not covered in your video. Thanks!
I push weed eater/trimmer line through the bar then use electrical tape to attach it to the wires. Then just pull it through the bar. You can also put some wire lubricant over the tape to make it slide around the bends easier.
@@BrandonsHarley Thanks.
Thank you just picked up my 2024 CVO copperhead yesterday and couldn’t figure out how to put this thing in accessory mode so thanks
Also, if you’re looking to put the bike in accessory mode without starting the engine or turning on the fuel pump and headlight, you just hold the trip button until the screen turns on.
Great video
Thanks for your video - I’ve been wanting to change to the tallboy bar but thought I had to remove the inner fairing. This bar is a couple inches taller than stock - does it have more pull back (maybe by rotating down a little?)
Do you think it would still be possible to do the replacement using a 1 1/4" diameter handlebar without removing the inner fairing?
Yep, I’ve helped someone do a 1-1/4” bar this way
Very cool upgrade🤘
I’d like to see the bike come without a fairing.
We will see if Harley brings the touring updates to the Road King in 2025.
Thanks for making this video
Did you install the harley tallboy handlebars. Also did you have to extend the brake line and clutch cable?
I installed the Harley Tallboy handlebars. Thankfully, there is plenty of clutch cable and brake hose available, so extensions were not needed. I did remove the two p-clip retainers on top of the triple tree for each of those lines to give a little more slack. There are other people who left that alone and had no issue. The wiring for the hand controls is very long and could easily accommodate a handlebar up to 14 inches.
@@BrandonsHarley So going to 12 inch the only thing you might have to extend is clutch and brake cable
@@Bamm90210 Yep
Good install video! Like the lights, but not a fan of seeing the wiring. The black wiring on white paint is noticeable where the light is attached to the bag and the first anchor point. Hopefully Custom Dynamics has an update planned for this.
I doubt CD will change their design as it has been the same for over a decade. It’s noticeable when you install and when you’re looking for it, but it’s not visible out on the road. People aren’t looking in that much detail. I was considering putting white shrink tubing on the wire but it really isn’t worth the extra 5 minutes.
Are you just crazy strong or what!? I've seen other videos, they had a tough time loosening those engine mount bolts. You made it look easy! Great video, I ordered my Thrashin Supply Skid Plate. Great piece of mind 😎👍
Ha! 😂 I am but they’re only 45 ft-lbs, not that tight!
Only video installation of skid plate with all the details including torque values, you're the best "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK''
Appreciate it! Thank you!
Do they have the same ones like those that fit the 2024 CVO and CVO ST bags but do amber for turn signals and red for break and drive lighting?
Congrats, very nice job!
Hi Brandon, great job! I’ve got some questions for you, what type of handle bar did you install and didn’t you need any extensions for clutch, switches etc. All the best from Germany ✌️
I installed the Harley Tallboy handlebars. They are about 2 inches taller than the stock bars. Thankfully, there is plenty of clutch cable and brake hose available, so extensions were not needed. I did remove the two p-clip retainers on top of the triple tree for each of those lines to give a little more slack. There are other people who left that alone and had no issue. The wiring for the hand controls is very long and could easily accommodate a handlebar up to 14 inches.
@@BrandonsHarley Thanks for your response, much appreciated! I’d like to install the „HD Fused Handle Bar 55801469“ soon. After your feedback I’ll try to keep the original components as well. BR Thomas
I’m the type of guy who researches as much as possible about a product before I buy it. Part of my research is checking out installation videos. Out of all the videos I’ve seen regarding these lights, this is the only video that shows what goes on under the seat with the connections. The other videos talk about it but do not show it. Thanks for being so detailed. My only gripe about these lights is how the cable is visible. I wish there was a way to hide the cable. How do you feel about this?
Thank you, I appreciate that. I agree about the wire, but what else could they do? I was thinking of putting some white heat shrink on the wire so it blends in, but I’m not all that concerned. I have more of an issue with the cheap light housings HD put on these bikes.
@@BrandonsHarley Hogworkz has their cables for their saddlebag lights running inside the bags but they require drilling a hole. I was seriously considering those over CD’s but theirs were not compatible with ‘24 Road Glides.
What mirrors are you running?
These are the Harley Adversary (gloss black w/highlights) P/N 56000354 (left) and 56000355 (right). These are the CVO mirrors. They do not come with the acorn nuts or washers, so you’ll need to get those from Harley or your favorite hardware store. Harley P/Ns for nuts/washers: 7155 (need 1 per side) 7352 (need 1 per side) 12505 (need 1 per side)
Great install! What seat is that u have on there?
Saddlemen Road Sofa
You are welcome to install lights on my saddle bag anytime you want! ❤ -your biggest fan
Looks great! Great video and step by step!
Hey Brandon, your videos are very good and informative, thank you from Brazil 😎🤘
Looks sick
Really nice clear helpful instructional video. Been a huge Custom Dynamics guy for years. Ride safe.
Good video, simple and clean install!
Hey there fellow Texan. About time it cools down for some garage time! I have this on my list to order after Labor Day as well as the license plate removal project to be replaced with CD so glad I found this video to see how easy the job will be and the actually get a good look at the project. I have a 24 SG. Just a quick question regarding the lights on the saddle bags....is the sticky stuff on the lights really secure?
@@GAPalmer awesome! These are great bikes and CD makes great products. Yes, the tape is extremely secure. Had them on my previous bike for 20k miles and 5 years, no issues.
Thats a beautiful bike you have there ❤
Very well documented video! Thank you! I feel confident I can install bars myself.
I swapped out my stock bars today for the HD Tall Boy handlebars. Unfortunately with the 2023.5 CVO, you can't swap out the bars this way as there is a metal bar preventing you from manipulating the handlebars as shown on the 2024 in this video. I ended up removing the inner faring and accomplished the task. Thanks for the video as it inspired me to take on the swap on myself!
I’m intrigued by why you couldn’t do it this way as there is no difference between the 2023.5 CVO and the 2024 SG. I’m not sure what you’re calling a metal bar that’s in the way. Could you point it out in this video? These are the tallboy bars shown in this video.
@@BrandonsHarley There actually is a difference around the key lock. I took a picture of it on my bike so I could show how this bar with a metal prong on each end prevents the bars from being manipulated. However, I don't see how I can add it to this thread.
Have the same bike and nice video, going to order mine in black. Quick question, do you have a challenge getting the bike out of that chollk?
Thanks! No issues getting the bike out of the chock. You do have to “bounce” the wheel out of it, but it’s no issue for me. I ride daily so the bike is in and out of the chock every day.
With the 2024 model putting on the Tall Boy handlebars, did you need to put the mirrors on the bars? I put the Tall Boy handlebars on my 2020 street glide special and I could still see behind me with the mirrors on the faring.
Yes, new mirrors on the bars are needed. Hands will be directly in front of the mirrors with these 2024 Tallboys.
@@BrandonsHarley Thanks for your quick response!
I thought you didn’t have to remove the faring
The outer fairing shell is removed, not the fairing. If you’re familiar with any of the previous models of batwing fairings, you might remember that the entire fairing has to be removed, which required considerably more labor as you have to disconnect all electronics, brackets, etc.
Well done video
Is it the Procedure for 2023 street glide
No
I want more videos! I could listen to your sultry voice all day! Wish you did videos about a 99 4runner. I would be able to fix anything with your detailed videos!
Ha! Hey, if I could get more money for parts or have parts sponsored, I’d do videos every day!
Thanks for the great install vid. Got mine today and just installed it with the help of your vid.
Ordered mine on 07-10-24 waiting for it to ship. Thanks for making the video.
Nicely done! Very detailed removal and installation. Thanks
Oh man, I wish every how-video on TH-cam was as clear, concise, and as free of fluff as this one! I just shared it to a SG trouble thread on Facebook. EXCEPTIONAL WORK!!!
Glad it helped! Thanks for sharing!
You can do it this way, unless you go with the 12" bars and need to replace the clutch,right?! I just replaced my bars and took all off.... BTW, thank you for this one. I had to readjust my bars and it took me 15 minutes. Great video,keep them going! Subscribed!
You can still replace the clutch cable and brake line this way. You just remove the p-clip retainers from the top of the triple tree and it will free up the lines to be replaced. There is one retainer for the brake line, and one for the clutch cable. You will need to have a right angle T27 (like an Allen wrench, but a Torx) to get the bolts out. There is not enough room to get a T27 socket in there. For 12” bars, you do not need to replace either line. Removing the p-clips from the triple tree gives enough slack.
I appreciate the in-depth video on this very very, very exact and precise thank you. I just got mine powder coated black, and I will be installing it soon.
this is the absolute best tutorial video ive ever seen gonna be my winter project for sure
Wow, thanks! If you have any questions I don’t mind helping.
