There are a few models of bikes that come from Harley Davidson that just shouldn't be equipped under any circumstances with T-bars. The Fatboy line-up happens to be in that category! JMHO

This.
If you want some more tall and upright bars OP. go with the KST Vanguard Bars, Pathfinder, Spearhead and Pioneer.

Personally, I like T bars on a fatboy if they are low and fat. These from Burleigh bars are on my list, but im still undecided between T bars and the Highball apes...
