So I have generally always been against the look of the T-bars. But the more and more I see them, they are beginning to grow on me. I currently have a set of 14s and 17 apes sitting around waiting for me to throw one of the sets on I just keep putting it off due to the work involved. So now I am starting to consider getting a set of T-bars and throwing them on. If I want to go with 12in total rise what size bars would I need to grab? I am assuming either 13 or 14 since they don't use the risers.
Ah ok, I was figuring they were measuring from the base of the bars under the triple tree to the controls. Stock controls and wiring can extend what 2-3 inches past stock? my 05 WG has 10s from the factory.

I used to run 12" T-bars on an older bike but when I got this Superglide I went with 12" risers and drag bars. Very similar to T-bars but this way I can adjust the exact grip angle by rotating the bars in the clamp.
These things always have plenty of wire to extend for higher bars, but your brake line, clutch cable, and throttle cables may or may not need to be changed out for longer ones.

Different companies measure to different points. Some measure the height of the riser, some to the highest point of the bars. Just be careful to check before ordering.

Thats exactly what i was wondering about. The difference between OAL vs rise. if OAL is 12. bolting to the trees would net a smaller #.
