Wide Glide with T-Bars
I'm looking at 9"-10" T-bars for the Wide Glide. At 6' 3" I don't want to get much shorter. Anybody have pics of theirs and any tall guys have experience with what height and pullback has been comfortable for you?

The guys at work tell me that my bike is perfect except for the mini apes. They want me to go to a T bar. Those mini apes are so comfortable. I wouldn't want to sacrifice any comfort to look cool but if I could find a nice set of T bars that didn't have me leaning over, I would consider it.

T-bars are nice but you need to take the time to find some that put the grips were you need them. You don't have any adjustment is the draw back.
I needed alot if pull back so I went with 9 inch Carlini super sweeps.

I picked up some 9" Carlini Clean Sweeps. I'll be putting them on in the next few weeks and I'll be sure to post pics.

At your height I would not have gone with pullback T-bars, I have 8" T-bars and I actually wish they were a tad forward of where they are. I have long arms and prefer to reach a bit, which is why I always had apes before these.
Everyone is different hope it all works for you.
