I just put 8" Biltwell Chumps on my bike. Excellent choice IMO. Puts your back very close to a straight position, but keeps the arms lower than apes and wind resistance down to a more reasonable level. The bike had 12" mini apes when I bought it, so my cables are about 4" long, and after buying and returning a few replacements that were still too long, I'm pretty certain stock length would have worked for these bars. Also, I think these bars go well visually with the more classic look of the low and custom series.

I just added Biltwell Friscos. Definitely helps me sit up a lot better than the stock bars.

I'd love to see those Chumps and Frisco's. What I appreciated most about the Biltwell bars is how light they are (coming from 14" Pudgy Grit Hangers).

I left the funky riser on so it still has the pull back.
The bike had buckhorns when I got it, the height was ok but the angle sucked. I'm 6ft. and my hands are just below shoulder height.
Keep in mind that the SuperLow (& 48) has handlebar clamp integral to the upper tree. This 1200C has a large riser.

Will the Santee Wide & Lows fit the Superlow 883 with the 4.5 gal tank? What model number are those bars in the photo? Thanks.
