These are also Santee bars. I got them off of e-bay. If I remember right they were less then $65 bucks.

They came black or chrome and I ran the internal wiring.

You can see the pull back in the pictures. I'm much shorter then you at 5' 8" and it's plenty comfortable for me.

i put the 13" cyclesmiths on my buddies 07 streetglide last winter for him...i only rode it about 30 miles and it kinda felt like i was reaching taller and farther forward than would be comfortable...dont get me wrong ive yet to find someone say they didnt like them...and everyone that did 10"s wishes they would have done taller ...i liked his height just felt like i was leaning forward some...

there wouldnt be any difference in those bars on an 07 sg and an 09 would there?

after more scouring i have found that the stock bars offer 12.5 pullback and 7.5 rise.

the cyclesmiths burlys, and wild 1 are close to that mark in the 11 and 11.5 in pullback narrowing it down between the 3...

Are those the 14". That looks to be just what I need. I am getting ready to order. Which clutch cable did you need and which brake cable. ABS?
