Typical guy I was yesterday - Went to the dealership with WO758 - 10" on my brain and walked out buying Santee 11" ( Fred Kodlin ) Chrome, and it that was not such a bad thing , again typical guy ( I want) he ended up selling me complete braided cables - HTF does that happen Picking my bike up next week if the weather breaks, have to haul it 8 hours home - so temps cannot be 20 below! These are the bars:

 

08 SG with Road6 Customs 10" mini's

 

I had them on my Nighty. Loved the bars but could not find anyone that had them on a glide when I swapped bars this time...AND I wanted chrome not black. Look great. My nighty bars were hell to wire internally...how were they on the glide?

 

For me they were impossible to wire internally. After I snaked the TBW through there was no way I could get the rest of the wiring routed internally with the cruise and radio and signal wires. After 4 hours of trying everything from baby powder to WD40 to vasoline I gave up. I know a lot of guys think its a MUST to have them internally wired but I figured the stockers weren't wired internally and it never got on my nerves so screw it. To be honest I don't even notice the wiring. The fairing does a good job masking it. When I eventually get a new(er) SG and swap out to apes again I will most certainly get a 1.5" diameter set so I can take another crack at the internal wiring.

 

How's the wrist angle on them?

 

so you are using stock fairing mirrors........how's that working out for you?

 

Because of the LePera seat I sit lower in the bike which makes the wrist angle pretty neutral. I don't have any complaints about it yet, but I haven't done any long rides with them yet.

I actually relocated the stock mirrors down about 1". They're useable. Not perfect, but they do the job.

 

so your lepara suits you a bit lower, out of curiosity do you know of a seat that'd be perhaps a bit higher (and farther back). i'm tall, and i constantly find myself pushing back into the stock (HD sundowner) seat as far as I can go.

I don't off hand know of any seat like you're wanting. The LePera definitely sits me farther back than the Mustang seat I have or the stock SG seat. I think maybe something like that with some forward extensions for your floorboards might help you out a little bit. If you search around you could probably find a good used LePera and set of forward extensions for the same price as a new seat. Might be worth giving it a shot.
