That bend and thickness is perfect for the late model mid-glide trees. And you can't beat that price.

What's cool is that they come with pull wires pre-run through the bars to help with the wiring.

So far I have the wiring run and the bars are bolted up. My stock length HD Diamondblack brake line is going to work but I'm going to need a new clutch and throttle/idle cables which I don't have yet. I'll be ordering those next week and I'm going to go with Magnum Black Pearl cables to match my brake line.

Here's a pic of the bars bolted up before I ran the wiring.

And here's a comparison to stock Street Bob bars.

Just was wondering if those stock bars are the 10" or 12" apes that you had before you put the Santee bars on. Also, do the Santee's effect the tank at all when turning with the 2" lift?
