They are 14" Santee's
$99.99 out of custom chrome.
No need to extend anything other than the internal wiring.

Ya just becuase a part doesnt say compatible with a 2010 RoadGlide, doesnt mean it wont fit on your bike. The pipe is for a soft tail, and the bars are obviously narrow for a bagger but i like them.

Hey Slowglide. Glad you posted pix!!! We have similar tastes in styles and I just
traded my '06 Street Glide for a '10 Road Glide.
im wanting to know more about your handlebars.
i didnt have apes on my STreet Glide, but have sat on many SG with apes, and found them to be very comfy. I have been looking for narrow apes for the Road Glide, but not sure which ones. the pullback is so different from one bike to the next, and with the Street glide Apes, they have to clear the inner fairing so they naturally have more pullback.
I was looking at chubby outlawz and decided they dont have enough pull back, and then discovered these exact bars you have on your Roadie now. the Santees, and was gonna go for the 14"s as well.
Im short( 5' 6") and obviously you have the bars pushed way up so they are straight up and down, but wondering how they compare with pullback, reach, comfort, compared to the apes on your Street Glide? I would want them in line with the fork angle, as I need them to come way back, but not past the fork angle or it would look ridiculous. also what lines did you have to extend?
thanks in advance. i have been looking for 2 months for someone with bars like yours on a Roadie, and have experience with apes on the Street Glide and havent been able to find any answers.
thank you!

That is the link to custom chrome part number 693673 for black.
I am 6'3" and they are very confortable, on the street glide i had 12.5". Im not sure what your seat configuration is, but if you do a solo or something you may have trouble reaching. Unless you do a upfront seat. With my street glide with bars as far forward as possible(fairing restricted) I was stretche out pretty good with a brawler seat from harley.
I havent been on a long ride yet with them, but after having apes on my street glide i rode my road glide 10-20 miles before i put these on it.
I did not replace any cables, I spliced my internal wires just to be safe. Throttle by wire can be findangled to work, but for those that are not very experienced with bar installs may want to buy the barnett extention.
Any other questions just let me know.

AWESOME BRO!
Thanks for the sweet pics!!! You have very good taste in sexy bikes! I went from an 02 RG to an 07 SG and after a year regretted my decision, so back to a RG in 09 an not looking back!!!! Great handlebars too...I have been looking at those Outlawz apes and am thinking of the 12"....I might be able to install with no changes to wires or cables...we'll see!!!
Cool bike my friend!

Sorry i didnt get subscribed to the thread to see your response earlier.
i have a Reach Seat which puts me much closer to everything, but also sits me lower. I will pull the bars back so they are at the same angle the forks run.
how do you splice your internal wires? Do you have ABS brakes?
thanks again for the help and responses!

Alright, GR8FLH you can either pay for the extention, or just cut the wire and add another piece of wire with couplings, or sauder them together and wrap them. Im not sure if there is extra wiring for the ABS, my bike did not have ABS.
As for the pulling wires through bars, i have never had a good experience with this. Its not fun, your gonna sweat, swear through a few tools.,....possibly... But it will eventually work out and be well worth it. I put my bars in a vise so im dont have to fight so much.
For the parts, actually nothing is powder coated. I use a Appliance epoxy paint on all my stuff. Its all in the prep. Chainsaw has a good sticky on this in one of the forums and I use a similar process. I had that paint on my street glide for over a year and almost 9 thousand miles with no chips. Good bang for your buck if you ask me. Ive also never had anyone question it. They are always like man the powder coated parts are awesome. You must have a bunch of money tied up in that I bet. If they only new I had 15 smacks and some elbow grease for an evening.

ok. i will have to inquire more about extending wires with ABS.
But the Santees come with a pull wire to make internally wiring the handlebars easier, right? so was wondering about those.
i know some tips to get those boogers through, like using vaseline or something so they will slide through easier etc.
yep read Chains sticky for painting parts. thanks

Alright, just got my HD brawler seat put on tonight. Rode up to the local spot. I had it on my street glide before and loved it. Like it just as much on my road glide. I am 6'3" with some pretty long arms and i can lock a leg on my FBI jack knifes. I think when biketoberfest starts I am going to get some forward controls. Any body on here from central Florida area???
SlowGlide,
Nice looking bike! Thanks you just made my handlebar decision easy for me. I have been back and forth for the last week trying to decide between 12.5” or 10” WildOne handlebars, and last night I ordered a set of 14” Santee’s. Once I saw that these bars had 11” of pullback, a sub-hundred dollar price tag, and they come in black I was sold. Thanks for helping pull the trigger on this set of bars. I saw on your old street glide you were running a Thunder Header, how did you like it? I am back and forth between the Thunder Header or the LSR by RB Racing. J
bars should be here the 31st...
