Looking for some tbars
So im looking into some tbars.
Im fairly new to motorcycles... I know enough to barely get me by.
Im really interested in some black, 7-8" raised tbars. But i dont want the pull back to be the same as my stock bars. Maybe a good 2" shorter then the stock bars would be great. Im 6'5", so i have some length on the arm and leg side.
So what would be a good set of bars? And ones that dont make me reach far forward like a street? Ya know?
How can you tell the pullback length also?
All suggestions would be great. And pictures of what you have would be even better!!!

Knowing my bike would help huh?!! Hahaha whoops.
I have an 04 super glide. Pics will be coming soon. Havent taken any due to work.
Ive looked into the westcoast bars, and dont seem to like them too much. But havent ruled them out.
12" is a tad too much for my liking.
Ive been on jpcycles alot have seen some i like, but dont understand the pull back length. I know what it means, but i dont want to end up with the same pullback as my stock bars, or longer.
Ill get some pics up later tonight.

I'm 6'-1", 34" inseam and I'm not sure about arm length, but I feel most comfortable with around 6 to 8 inches of pullback and about 6 inches of rise, width feels about right between 29 and 32 inches.
I installed a set of T-bars today that were 30.5" W, 6" H and 9" PB, (J&P Cycles, Milwaulkee Twins super radius part #500-880) they felt a tad close, but were very comfortable and I could have lived with them, however, the severe bending sweep of the risers had the bars blocking my view of the speedo/tach that I custom fitted behind the risers. I didn't even ride with them, but took them off immediately and put my previous one's back on. I use my gauges too much to want them blocked from view. You can see from my pics just where the gauge is, I like it there and my bars need to accommodate that location.
You might check out the above J&P bars or check out their #500-883 that might fit you better and would probably have done the trick for me, too.
