I found fat bob take off bars to be very comfortable and you can find them with the risers for under 100. Just a thought...

Yeah those are nice bars Patrick. I think I'll be ok with the T-bars, and I actually realized today riding to work that a little pull forward might be more comfortable, as it is now with the stock mini-apes I tend to slouch back too much in the saddle on longer rides which just causes soreness. Thanks everyone for the input!

patrick, were you able to install those without changing any of the cables? I need a set of bars that let me sit back a bit more but am worried about the stock cables being long enough for certain bars.

Not a single cable/wiring modification, but your mileage may vary. I even have room to wire internally, but if I'm gonna do all that, I'm gonna order the wiring extension kit anyway. From what I understand the Super Glide CUSTOM has longer cables than the regular Super Glide because of the stock Buckhorn bars on the custom.

I have an 06 FXDL, I wonder how the wiring compares, doing new trees over the winter so I want to do the bars at the same time.
