Working on aquiring items needed to change the handlebars. I already have the 11" Santee bars and plan on going with a +6" cluch cable but I have some questions about the brake line(s). I am looking at the handlebar kits from Burley and LA Choppers and don't feel like I need the wire extention kits (I have a soldering iron, wire, and heat shrink tubing), nor do I see a need to change the lower brake lines. Don't I just need a longer brake line from the mastercylinder? If so, I'm thinking a +4 should do the job. Am I missing something? What about the ABS, what is the difference? Is it not just a brake line? Any help would be appreciated.

 

If you want to retain the cables in the stock positions, then I think you have it right: +6 on the clutch cable and +4 on the upper brake line.

 

Sorry no advice but could ya post pics when done? I'm planning on bars this winter and have thought about Santee 11".

 

Plus 4" on clutch and relocating.

All the rest is stock including relocated brake line upper the clutch cable location on the main harness betweeen tank and inner fairing, tight but ok.

 

Had them on for a few months now but broke two of the detuch pins and didnt have acc when cruise control on. Bought some crimpers and new pins and fixed them this week. Took the bars back off and re worked the throttle side. Also adjusted the pull back a little. It was aggravating but now that its done im happy with my $250 mini apes.
