Default Handle bar questions

I'm looking at putting on a set of T bars. My question is I'm 6ft tall and thinking going with 14" bars. Anybody else on here 6ft tall and running 14's? What's your opinion on the height?


Thanks for any help

Try using Google. There are several companies that make/sell t-bars that fit Dynas.

My buddy has 14" West coast Tbars on his streetbob. He is 6ft and he's says there perfect. I rode his bike just down the street and they felt like they put my shoulders and hands at a perfect height, I am 6ft also.

It's going to depend on the actual length of your arms/torso and more importantly what Dyna you're riding. Some have a little more rake than others so will lean the bars closer to you. I just put 10" T-bars on my Fatbob and they are perfectly inline with my shoulders (I'm 5'11") but the FatBob isn't nearly as raked out as some other models.

Also, I'd recommend Wild1 for bars...they answered all of my phone calls and emails immediately and my bars are excellent. There are a ton of T-bar makers at this point though

I was thinking about buying these myself, talked to people that have them and they are happy with them.
