KST Patriot Bagger Handlebars
A Narrower Bar That Brings the Bike Back to You
A taller handlebar does not automatically create a more comfortable riding position. Overall width, pullback, wrist angle, and where your hands naturally land matter just as much.
At 34 inches wide with 6.5 inches of pullback, the KST Patriot Bagger gives Harley Batwing Touring riders a narrower, more natural hand position than many broad bagger bars. The result is easier reach, better leverage, and a more controlled riding position without losing the aggressive appearance of a 1.5-inch handlebar.
The squared Patriot design is a strong fit for riders who want custom bagger styling but do not want their hands pushed unnecessarily wide.
Why Riders Choose the Patriot Bagger

Built for Comfort, Control and Real Touring Miles
Wide handlebars can look good but may leave some riders reaching outward, placing additional strain across the shoulders, wrists, and upper back. The Patriot Bagger’s narrower width helps bring the controls into a more natural position while maintaining leverage over a heavy Touring motorcycle.
That makes the Patriot a strong choice for riders who:
- Feel stretched across the stock or current handlebars
- Want their hands closer to shoulder width
- Experience wrist, shoulder, or upper-back discomfort
- Want an aggressive custom look without extremely broad bars
- Spend long days riding and care about sustained comfort
- Want more confident leverage during turns and low-speed maneuvering
Choose the Right Rise
10-Inch
A moderate step up from the factory 8-inch bars. Best for riders who want improved position and custom styling without placing their hands dramatically higher.
12-Inch — Most Riders Start Here
The best starting point for many Touring riders. It provides a noticeable improvement in posture and hand position while remaining practical for everyday riding and longer trips.
14-Inch
For riders who want a taller cockpit and stronger visual presence. Cable, clutch, and line requirements become more important at this height, especially on later model years.
Your height alone does not determine the correct bar. Seat position, arm length, current bars, preferred wrist position, and how far forward you sit all affect the final fit.
Construction and Measurements
- Overall width: 34 inches tip to tip
- Pullback: 6.5 inches
- Rise options: 10, 12 and 14 inches
- Tubing diameter: 1.5 inches
- Material: CNC mandrel-bent 304 ornamental-grade stainless steel
- Finishes: Polished stainless or high-gloss black
- Factory bar height: Approximately 8 inches
- Wiring: Notched and slotted for internal wiring
- Throttle compatibility: Throttle-by-wire and non-throttle-by-wire
The bars are stepped down in the necessary areas so the 1.5-inch tubing fits the Batwing fairing without requiring fairing modifications.
Fitment
This pre-wired listing fits 2014–2023 Harley-Davidson Batwing Fairing Touring models, including:
- Street Glide
- Electra Glide
- Ultra Classic
- Ultra Limited
- 2014–2023 batwing-fairing Harley trikes (send us your trike’s year and model and we’ll confirm). Pre-wire on trikes: confirm with us.
These bars do not fit the redesigned 2023 CVO or 2024–2026 Street Glide platform. The bare bar is also sold on this listing: choose Bar Only (no wiring kit).
Always confirm the exact year and model before ordering. Differences in controls, ABS, clutch components, heated grips, existing risers, and previous modifications can change what is required.
Installation Requirements
Handlebar height and motorcycle year determine whether wiring, brake lines, or clutch components require changes.
2014–2023 Models
KST states that 12-inch bars can generally be installed without replacing the factory brake or clutch hoses. Electrical extensions are still required unless an appropriate pre-wired configuration is selected.
On ABS-equipped models, 14-inch bars may work with minor line rerouting.
2021–2023 Models
The 14-inch configuration requires the clutch cable to be extended or replaced. KST offers a four-inch-over-stock clutch extension for this application.
For a 2021–2023 bike with the 14-inch bar, choose a 14" option ending in “+ 4" Clutch Extension”. It adds the FBI +4" clutch extension (+$114.95) to the Pre-Wired Bundle or Fully Pre-wired 16'-23' setup.
Requirements can vary with the exact model and any previous changes made to the motorcycle. Verify the complete installation before taking the bike apart.
Why We Prefer Pre-Wired
Internal wiring is often one of the most frustrating parts of a Harley handlebar installation. On eligible model years, KST’s fully pre-wired option arrives with the extended electrical harness already routed through the bars.
You still need to install the controls and verify the brake and clutch requirements, but pre-wiring removes a major part of the installation process.
Pre-wired configurations are currently offered for select 2014–2015 and 2016–2023 applications, including options for compatible heated-grip setups.
Pre-Wired Bundle ($505): the bar arrives with the left and right switch harnesses installed, plus pull wires so you (or your installer) can pull your factory throttle-by-wire harness through. Choose “Pre-Wired Bundle (heated-grip harness)” if your bike has heated grips, so a pull wire is added for the heated-grip harness. This is KST's Pre-Wired Bundle for 2014–2023 models, a lighter option than the Fully Pre-Wired setup.
Bar Only (no wiring kit): the handlebar alone at $405; you supply the wiring and any extensions your bike needs.
Before You Order
Send us your:
- Motorcycle year and exact model
- Current handlebar height
- Preferred Patriot rise
- Heated-grip setup
- Any riser or control modifications
- What you want to improve about your current riding position
We will help review the setup before you order. The goal is not simply to install taller bars—it is to put your hands, wrists, and shoulders in a position that still feels right after the miles start stacking up.
