Finally got the new Santee 11" Dresser Apes installed along with the chrome master cylinder/clutch perch, switch housings,switch caps and braided cables. Looks fantastic, very pleased with the installation.

Bars feel very comfortable with no more stretching to reach the bars. The 11" height is perfect for me at 5'9". I've heard it said that riding with apes on a bike is like having power steering and I would have to agree with that. Effortless steering and it seems much easier to make tight u-turns. Out on the open road it seems to be much more comfortable as it pushes me back into the backrest. Get my feet up on the highway pegs and its like riding my recliner down the road. I do need to roll them forward a couple inches, got them a little too far back.

All in all its one of the most satisfying mods I've done to the bike since Ive owned it. Heres a few pics to go along with the review.

 

Very nice..

 

Looks great. I like the apes!!

 

They look pretty tame and very practical. Nice job.

 

I felt relaxed just looking at the pics. lol! Very nice. Looking to do the same mod to mine in the very near future.

 

Huh, I didn't think you could put apes on a bagger, but guess I learn something new everyday. By the way very nice looking bike too.

 

Looks good and comfy. What did you need to do as far as the cables go?

 

I'm not sure I'll have to ask my indy, I believe they were 6" over stock.

 

Those actually look really good!...... Most do not,----- for me that is.

 

that looks really nice. what is the PN# for the bar? Is it PN# 693678? thanks
