Default T bars or Z bars???

Hey guys so I'm in the process of doing some mods on my 04 superglide and I'm having a real tough time picking between some 12in t bars or 10in z bars with two inch risers... I haven't seen too many superglides on here with z bars and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or opinions (pics are always fun too). Thanks...

I'm gonna do 10" t bars. The Z's have too much pullback for me.

I prefer tall drags to apes. Although I think apes may look better without a fairing. Depends on what you want the bike to look like when finished. Also, if the drags don't have enough pullback for you, you could end up with a sore back from the reach. Sometimes it's good to have the bars close enough to be able to lean back a little while putting time in the saddle. Personally, I'd figure out where you need the bars to be comfortable vs the best look.
