Alright guys I got my stage one done Monday and thought I would be able to leave my bike alone for a while before spending anymore money on upgrades... well that lasted 4 days
So I've had an internal debate on bars, I love two styles and can't commit to 1. too bad bars aren't quick-change!
I really love the feel of the MX style T bars, just not super keen on the look when I have the fairing off, also just haven't decided 10 or 12" yet.
And I really love the look of the Z bars like road 6 customs in 12". but the feel is not much different my stock bars which are just "ok".
So I thought I would start a thread on the Z vs T debate.
If this has already been started my bad, I'll delete.

I went with the 10" West-Coast T-bars on my FXDB and I couldn't be happier. Also switched out the stock Harley rubber bushings for some firmer PU ones. The handling difference is like night & day.
Of everything I've done to my bike, those bars are tied for first-place with the new pipes.
I recently switched from 12" road 6 customs to 12" t bars. It was a night and day difference. But I also added a gauntlet fairing. With the road 6 my hands would go numb and the wrist position was a bit weird for me. But they were great bars. I'm much happier with the 12" t bars now.
I have had drag bars, 14" mini apes and just installed 9" forbidden risers with a set of pro taper bars. This is the most comfortable set up I have ever experienced plus I can ride the dyna like a super moto; amazing control. The benefit of going with separate bars and risers over a fixed t-bar is adjustability; you can rotate the bar to your preference. You can get quite a bit of adjustment with a 3" bar. You get about 12" of rise and at 6'4" it is perfect.
