KST's Straight Jacket gives your Road King a classic custom look with comfort in mind: a clean, simple bend, 34 inches tip to tip with 6 inches of pullback.

Who the Straight Jacket Is For
Touring riders who want a classic, understated custom bar rather than a pointed meat-hook style.
Riding position: hands sit up in front of you on a clean, traditional bend.
Reach: 6 inches of pullback brings the grips back toward you; 34 inches tip to tip.
Rise: 10, 12, 14 or 16 inches. Pick the rise for where you want your hands, then check the install notes below for your year.

Choose Your Setup
Bar Only (no wiring kit): the handlebar alone, for any 1996–2022 Road King on this listing. You supply the wiring and any extensions your bike and rise need. On 2014–2022 bikes, a bar-only install also needs KST's CAN-bus wire extensions (not included in Bar Only; ask us).
Pre-Wired Bundle (2014–2022 only): switch harnesses installed + pull wires.
Fully Pre-Wired (2014–2022 only): with KST's Fully Pre-Wired Bundle, the bar arrives loaded with the left and right hand switch harnesses, the throttle-by-wire sensor harness and, if you choose it, the heated grip splice.
Fully Pre-Wired 16-22: 2016–2022 models (small plug)
Fully Pre-Wired 14-15 (Big Plug): 2014–2015 models
…with Heated Grip Splice: choose this if your bike has heated grips
KST says the Fully Pre-Wired Bundle's extended full-length harness works with bars up to 16" tall, so no separate CAN-bus wire extension is needed. Pre-wired setups are not offered for 1996–2013 models.
14" on a 2021–2022: choose a 14" option ending in "+ 4" Clutch Extension (2021-2022 only)". It adds the FBI +4" clutch extension (KST part 109812, +$114.95) that KST requires at that height.
Installation Requirements (per KST)
2014–2020 Road King: with a stock hydraulic clutch, 14" can be installed with the stock brake and clutch lines. With a mechanical clutch, up to 12" installs with the stock brake and clutch. Bar Only needs KST's wire extensions.
2021–2022 Road King: 10" and 12" install without replacing the brake or clutch. Bar Only needs KST's wire extensions. 14" requires the clutch extension (part 109812) and, on Bar Only, the wire extensions.
1996–2013 Road King: KST does not list brake, clutch or wiring requirements for these years. Contact us before ordering so we can confirm what your bike needs.
16" rise: KST does not list brake, clutch or wiring requirements for 16" on these bikes. Contact us before ordering.
2013 Road King CVO: KST notes this bike has a stock 1.25-inch riser. Contact us before ordering.
If you have changed your stock risers, tell us so we can make sure you get the right clamping diameter.
Stock Road King bars are 10" on 2014–2022 and 7" on 1996–2013 (per KST).
Professional installation is recommended.
