Default Considering new bars

I currently am running WC 14" T-bars. Considering swapping them out of maybe some MX-T or even Lucky Daves. Thoughts?

I personally prefer the look of ape hangers on Dynas, however I do like the lucky daves bars. There's quite a few members on here with them. Out of curiousity, what made you want to change bars again? I know for me personally, the thought of changing bars and running all those wires through again makes me want to hang myself. Then again it's much easier with t bars.

I had the Lucky Daves Lucky 13 bars on my bike, loved them, not a bad bar at all just wanted to do something different with the Chrome T's

Let me know if you decide to sell those WCT's, I might be interested. The ones I have now are too short, not enough pullback in the bars...

I changed mine with similar 12" bars, black, less drop down and less pull back. ( street Bob). I dont know why you think its so difficult. There was no unpinning. Unplug, pull through the bars, plug back in. Done

Not a fan of T bars. Dont know how some of you can stand the look.

Just out of curiosity, how much flex do you get with apes when counter steering? My last scoot I was running 13" forbidden risers. I ended up getting some flex unexpectedly while banging out corners. Gave me a bit of a scare. I ended up tightening them WAY DOWN and that seemed to fix most of it, but in the end still hand a tiny bit.

Just an opinion. If youre considering an mx style, Id suggest a riser setup w/clamp. Nice having that extra adjustment. Not the usual T bar setup I see on every bike and beats the heck out of swapping out a set of t bars bar a change.

4 1/2 pullback risers on mine. Works, looks and handles great.
