Beg to differ, all...I had built and rode one of the best T-Sports, goggle image serch FXDXT or Dyna T Sport, the blue one was mine...
Had lower and narrower Sportster bars on it for a proper sport touring stance, did thousands of miles that way, too. Club Style is just that, a style...if you like it, good for you...enjoy yourself. I tried 8" high bars and for me it did not work. Got the bike down to 608lbs and had 111HP/117FT LBS. I' m sure the current owner is reading this thread, too. Great bikes...have put thousands on my tamer FXDF since selling the T. You seem to have gotten one relativly unmolested; enjoy your catch!
F___ the consensus. Lots of people lower their bars. Try some low rise drag bars.
I hate leaning back. A forward lean gives you better control. Also it's easier to absorb sudden jolts to your spine from big bumps, 'cause you can flex forward instead of the pressure going up your spine.
I think high bars look, well , stupid, like there is no concern for handling. Just for how do I look when I pippin' around.
I've just purchased a slightly rough 2002 Dyna Super Glide T-Sport and am having it serviced for the first time in years.
After its first wash, things don't look too bad
Now here's my question. When I looked around for lower handlebar options I found that no one has lowered their handlebars. Check out the FXDXT pictures on Google and you'll see plenty that are higher, none lower. That means there are also no pictures of turn signals being re-positioned under the fairing and no pictures with longer mirror stalks. I'm amazed. Surely in country of 319 Million people, there must be one person who tried to finish the job Harley started in creating a "standard" motorcycle. Just for reference the stock bar is black, 7 inches high, 31 wide, with a pullback of 9 inches; all with dimples. I'm thinking of switching to an Iron 883 bar which is black, 3.75 inches high, 28.5 inches wide with a pullback of 4.75 inches.
The net effect of this change will tip me forward a bit, tuck me in more behind the fairing and give me a lower profile. It will also call for a lower windscreen, plus the turn signal and mirror changes mentioned earlier. I just can't believe I'm the first person to figure this out; it's so obvious. Take a look at a Vincent Black Prince for a reference to another remarkably similar bike.
Just happen to have the bars off my old T; they're the exact dimensions you described - Iron 883. I used turn signal mirrors...
