I switched the bars out on my 2001, using a set of OEM HD Street Glide bars. I have a set 4" risers and with the HD bars, it raised the bars approximately 2". The khurling extended out about 1/4", but there was enough under the clamps that they are secured firmly. I love the feel verses the stock setup. Besides the bars were FREE.

Yes I do like the bars. I just got back from a 2K+ mile trip (to sw rally and back) and they are quite comfortable. I have no regrets with them.

Jared sat next to me at a light and our handgrips were just about dead even for height. I have stock bars with the chuckster 3 inch risers. Am thinking I would like the looks of higher bars without the risers.

Jared,
Nice work on a Great Looking Bike! Do you have an opinion as to how the bars would work on a stock setup. Any need to change or lengthen any cables or lines? Using stock bars and Phat IIs on my "06" right now. "Opinions Appreciated"!

I just put these 11" Santee mini apes on my 03 1500 Nomad. The Brake line was 1/2 inch short after moving it out of the triple, everything else worked. I run the wired like Jared said with 16" extensions but had to pull it all apart and redo it with 24" extensions to make mine work.

I personally wouldnt run dresser apes on a bike with a windshield. You could, but my personal thoughts are they look best with a fairing.

I have the reckless fairing coming in about a week so I am just getting everything ready for it when it arrives, only thing to do yet is change the fork oil.

Love the Santee's
I used Jared's advice and bought the Santee Apes in Black instead of chrome. I love them on my 2006 1600 Nomad. Then only thing that wasnt mentioned was the little hole you have to drill for the right side starter and kill switch. I didnt have to change any hoses although my front brake is pretty tight now and I did have to move it behind the triple tree. I have the reckless fairing on it as well. Could not be happier with my set up.

You're right Jared. After looking at the pictures a number of times I can see where the looks would take a real hit downward.

Installed the santee bars today on my 2004 1500 with hoppe quadzilla fairing. Everything fit have to use stock risers. Didnt do wiring i need a winter project. Everything worked on the left side but man that brake cable is tight but no big deal i knew it would be tight and yes it is behind the forks . i will order longer cable when i get next allowance from wife lol. Really biggest pain was bleeding brake only because i cant stand brake fluid. I always forget and put a chew in and taste like $#IT.Im very pleased with the way it feels and looks. couldnt be happier. I found a pair for $85 to my front door http://www.ebay.com/itm/150653449064...84.m1497.l2649
