Default Just installed Santee 11's!!

I LOVE these! They're a huge improvement in comfort and control. I used a 70 inch clutch cable, I need at least a 6 inch over brake line to route it the way I want(still waiting on the brake line). Wires fit with about 3 inches to spare and the throttle cables fit. I should've done this years ago.

I got a chrome set of Santee 11's just waiting to be put on. Let us know how they work out for you, once you're on the road.

I got a 4" over brake line (ABS) so It sounds like that's not gonna be enough. Oh well, it's just money.

They look great. I have not made my mind up yet, either the new 13" primeapes from LAChoppers, or 13" cycle smiths. Soon though.

Here's the finished bars with the new brake line. 4 over may be enough depending on how you route it. I went with 30 inches and had plenty of slack. I took a little trip today, only about 60 miles, but I really love them. Like anything else new it's a learning process but I like them alot. My hand doesn't hurt anymore, my wrist feels better already and with the backrest it feels like a recliner.

Thanks, they look great! Yeah, my backrest won't be coming off anytime soon. I'll see if I can get by with the +4 brake line.

Thanks! The install didn't go bad either. I was really surprised at how smooth it went. Thanks to the write ups on this forum I knew what to expect.
