Help me pick new T-Bars
Hello I am looking for T-bars for my 07 SB
I am not sure what rise or pulback to get
I do not have long arms 19" from pits to Grips (LOL)
Deamon cycles said Dynas need a min of 6 " rise but sugest 8"
I love the Carlini Clean sweeps but they are to much $$$$
Any sugestions on what rise I should get and any pix would be great
Thanks ~
PS my stock mini apes will be for sale soon if anyone is looking for a pair

Dude, it's hard to choose by pictures or suggestions from others. I am 6'4" and have fairly long arms as a result. I thought I wanted something with 6" rise and had pretty much decided on them. Then I started trying bars out at the dealership. The 6" was just too low for me. They just happened to have a Deuce on the floor with the bars I ended up getting which have an 8" rise. I didn't like the look as much but they fit me perfect. Not only in the rise but the width as well. It put my hands and arms right where I wanted them to be. However, I can't imagine the pullback being good for anyone with arms much shorter than mine. My buddy, who is somewhat vertically challenged, has the clean sweeps on his lowrider and they look cool and fit him well. When I sit on his bike, I have way too much bend in my elbows for comfort. They are expensive but they are excellent quality. If that's what you need, it's what you need. Don't buy something just because it's in your price range if it doesn't fit. You will regret it. I got out cheap on mine but seriously doubt they'd be comfortable for a short reach.

Just removed a set of Wild 1 T-bars from my 07 SB, they had a 6" rise which worked great, but I think for me the 8" would be too high. (I'm 5'10"). With the 6" the front sigs are real tight to the tank adjusted away as far as possible, so it helps to relocate those. These are real good quality, the model is W0501. Here's a pic.
