Default Anyone using T-Bars with pullback?

I'm looking at purchasing a set of 11'' t-bars with 6'' pullback for my 07 street bob. I'm 5'9, and i'm wondering if this will be to much. I've tried measuring it out and using a pipe to fab some bars to get a feel for it, but it's hard to tell without being able to ride with them.

I'd appreciate if anyone is running a set up like this to post some pictures. I've tried searching a ton but all i find is WC Tbar pics.

I have had several sets of t bars on my sporty. Yeah, I know this is the dyna section but I found that the bars without the pullback (WCT bars) were far more comfortable than either of the sets that I have that had pullback.

Call Westcoast and tell them your specifications- they probably will have a product or solution for you.

I had a set of wild1's 501's on my bike until I switched to a springer front end... then I bought the T bars for springers. I love the pullback.. not too much, just right. I'm 5'9...

If you have stock 10" mini apes , that's pretty close to 11" T's. You could loosen the bar clamp, set the bars at 6" pull back or adjust for a comfortable position,test ride. Then measure. That should give a good idea of the amount of pull back for new bars. Just a thought.

I'd say the taller the bars, the less likely you're going to want pullback in them. They get closer to you as they get higher. You should mock some up and test.
