T Bars: Help

Hi guys,

I want to install a T-bar, but I don't know if I should take it black or Chrome, and which size. I'm 6', I want the look without messing the comfort. I was thinking a 6 to 8" rise and 4" pullback
Any suggestion. (I'm going to put a C&C Fastback 2up seat as well, and V&H short shots black)

Below is one of my choice

My opinion - on your bike, I'd go with chrome. The pull back and rise should be determined by what fits you best. If you can't try them before you by them, get someone to measure while you hold your arms and hands where you want them to be and that will give you a good idea of what to buy.

Agree, chrome on your bike...if you change your mind later on, easier to black out the chrome ones than the other way!

I would do chrome. I am 6'2" and have 8" rise on my WG. I like them. I might try to raise them 1" soon.

I have bars like that from Outlaw cycles also. They are nice bars for the money but 2 things:

1. As stated the pre-drilled holes do not line up right for the factory switch housings and they must be modified.

2. The attitude at Outlaw cycles is not very good. Question them about anything and they get a bad attitude.
