9.5 Wild 1 risers, Sportster bars. 13.5 in from the tree to the grips. I like risers/bars so I can adjust the angle. T-bars look cleaner with wires ran internally, but it's a fair trade off to not have my hands trapped in a pullback I may not like

Some nice bikes in this thread..
My bars are 11" Southeast custom cycles trackers. I'm 5-11" and it wouldn't hurt if they were a little taller, but I was able to barely use my stock wiring, so that helped make my decision at the time. I did the whole front end/headlight/wheel/seat/forwards/bars/clutch cable/brake line, last winter and I was out of money for much else.
I still need new mirrors, just need a few bucks.
Wish I had an action shot..

I changing to a 9.5" forbidden motorcycles riser and ProTapers. I like the height of the bars but I have pretty wide shoulders and the pull back on these put my wrist in a weird position. I think it's 3.5 where WC T bars are 2.5". I'm pretty sure a set of those would be fine for me but I want to be able to adjust the bar to get it just right. I'm not running a fairing yet and these stick straight up and don't really flow with the bike. A fairing would make it look much better but I've got some other stuff to sort out before I drop the cash on a fairing.
Forbiddens? sounds like someone knows what they are buying. hope soon to see a pro taper set up and something that goes with a set of bung king brackets. Cant say I wont be jealous

I was told they were the brand "West Coast T-bars", which they aren't. They look very similar but the pull back is different. The bars are fine, just a little wider and a bit more pullback than I'd like.
