The classification of tbar or mx bars has nothing to do with width. It's the manufacture who sets that.

If you reslly want a good set up. Get lucky Daves mx bar (14") or San Diego customs t bars (14"). Anything that is 27" or 28" wide is proper. All other bar makers are way to wide for true nature of a club bike.

This! 100%. LD bars are good to go

Incorrect.
Lucky Daves stats:

Westcoast stats:

San Diego customs doesn't even seems to offer a T-bar/MXT-bar

Both Lucky Daves and Westcoast have a 28" wide measurement.

I can tell you because I've had both Lucky Dave's and West Coast. The West Coast ARE wider.... They measure them differently or something is all I can think of. Plus, the Lucky Dave's San Diego bars are about the most ergonomic set of bars out there. The West Coast used to hurt my wrists after long hauls. NEVER had that problem with the Lucky Dave's....

My bad guys. I meant death squad t bars. They are all the same disgruntled family. Death squad, San Diego customs and Cory up in hemet California

go to there tattoo shop and it's got all there parts in there.

i run lucky Daves as of now. Great bar , narrow and outstanding hand position

west coast are just wider set. They used to be 32". It was obserd. Now they made them skinnier as they should but they just sit wider.

If if you want super skinny. Go lilricks 24" bar with 12" risers

west coast seemed to be the original. There are others who have taken that bar and advanced it. I do like the look of sling shots. Probably why I ended up looking and found lucky Daves

9.5 Pull backs with lucky dave riser bar. Love them. I like mx bars because of how they flow around the dual guages on the bars.

Do you have good tatto? Improves or worsens the traditional accelerator? which one do you have installed?

is no one taking into account seat height? im 5 11 and the 10" murdock pull backs with 10" trackers sit right at shoulder level with my c&c seat. id highly recommend taking a tape measure, sit on the bike, hold your hands out where they feel comfortable, and get someone to measure that height.......

also, consider pull back risers since they put you in a much more comfortable seating position...

100% spot on! Your seat height and location plays a HUGE part in which bars would be best for you.
