Default Bars

Hey all, thinking about different bars, possibly a set of T-bars. I love the comfort of my Wild1 Chubby 0504s, but to me they have never looked just right.

I'm researching the Wild1 Chubby bars again, but I'm looking for opinions and any ideas that you all might have.

Thanks!

Untill you posted this, I never really noticed what bars you had!

Overall, I really like the looks of them on your bike.

My brother had one of those types on his...I think it was the ones with the most pullback.

It was too much pullback for him.

If you are comfortable, I say stick with what you have...it looks great to me!

Personally I think the first 2 have too much pullback for my taste,but thats me. The third set looks almost identical to what I'm running. Mine are HD street slammers and think the only difference is the chubby's have 6" rise compared to my 7". I think that the T-Bars will feel alot more comfortable than stock IMO.

I say stick with what you got... They look great with your bike! I don't normally like chrome or your style of bars, but it just WORKS for your bike, and I'd trade with you in a heartbeat my friend.

In terms of looks I like the 500 the most. If you need a bit more pullback have a look at the 501's. Street slammers are in between those two in terms of rise and pullback. I also like the 1.5" thick 7" rise Carlini clean sweeps (they offer a bit more rise and pullback than street slammers): http://www.carlinidesign.com/handleb...answeep150.php At the bottom of the page you can see pics of them on various bikes.

At one time I had someone photoshop some Apes on her, but I didn't think they looked right. Maybe if she didn't have some much "bling" on her...
