Default Anyone have T-bars on a Fat Bob?

If so, what did you use and how did it affect the position and feel? I'm considering doing something like the image below, but want to be sure I get it right on the first try.

The stock drag bars on the Fat Bob have a bit of a pullback to them, but that may be less of an issue when using taller bars.

Any pics would be appreciated. Also, anyone happen to know what bars are in this pic?

Those look like West Coast's. I have 14" bars on mine. West Coast pull back is 2 1/2" I think, which is pretty much the least amount unless you run broomstick.

Only thing I would run other than these would be risers and Renthals

You might be right. Looks like it could be these:

I'm 6'4" and run 14" WCTBs. I previously had 10s then went away from tbars for a little while. Ended up coming back to WCTB because they were well made and very comfortable. And as slvrbck33 said they have 2 1/2" pullback. A lot of how high tall you want your bars will depend on your height and where you want your hands. Also keep in mind the taller you go the less your arms will be extended due to the rake. Might be a small thing but I noticed.

I know this is an old thread, but im hoping someone still gets the default alerst.


How did you deal with the front signals of a Fat bob and West coast bars.
The signals will not position to point straight forward now.

I went through several generations of HB before settling on T-bars with 10" rise and 6" pullback and 31" of width. I'm 5'7" w/ 29" inseam. I use a close solo seat and this setup gives me a hands on ~8 inches below my line of sight and allows me to sit up straight with no leaning into the bars. This was an expensive adventure but I finally achieved the perfect riding position for me.
