Default T-Bar vs. Z-Bar

Ok Ya'll,
I'm sure this has been a previous thread, but lets revist just for fun. I'm on an 08 Street Bob with stock bars right now. I want to change it up and can't decide between T-Bars or Z-Bars. I'm a fan of the way the Z-Bars look with their straight 90 edges, but T-Bars are comfortable too. I'm 6' 0" and my riding is anywhere from several hours on the highway, commuting around town or tearing up the twisties. Anybody have any input or personal experience? I'm not trying to look like I just rode off the set of Sons Of Anarchy so I'm not gonna be doing a ferring with the T-Bars. As far as riding comfort, I don't like leaning foward, so for someone my height for both twisties and highway, where is the good middle ground? Thanks for any help ya'll can provide.

T bar position is set. Z bars can be adjusted forward and back to suit.

You can get the exact same hand position with either one. Get whichever one you want, but make sure it puts your hands where and how you want 'em.

Went from apes to t-bars, t-bars are awesome. Just get the right pull back and height that you want
