T Bars vs Risers
Hey yall. as tax time comes up, i'm planning on doin something with my bars. Looking to go up. I've always liked the look of TBars... Ik southeast customs, WCTB, and BungKing all make good Tbars. But recently when doing some looking and seeing what others have done, i'm kinda atarting to look at going with risers in 8-9" area with something like Southeast's speedster bar on top ( http://www.southeastcustomcycles.com...D=77&category= )
My question is, are there any pros/cons to either aside from the obvious adjustability of have bars mounted on risers vs welded tbars.
Also, If i were to go the route of the risers... I'd like to be able to run the wires internally. Seen some on JP but nothing online was mentioned about being internally ran wires.

Sorry for the thread jack but does anyone know who makes the inverted V-bars? They look like T-bars but instead of a T they are an upside down wide spread V. (I'm looking for black)
Chad Peterson (user name)has them. I saw them in the pic of his bike on his post in Club style/Thug style Dyna Pic's thread (1st pg. 9th post).

I recently switched from 8" risers and V-rod bars to 10" Wild ones T-bars. The one major difference I noticed was how much more positive the steering felt with the Tbars. No more wishy washy steering, much more confidence with the Tbars. Plus the Tbars are internally wired

I personally prefer the look of risers with a top mounted gauge.
However, when you get to larger risers and taller bar you run the risk of twisting the risers. More so if you're an aggressive rider. I've had it happen. I found that the best way to get rid of it is to mount them rigid with no bushing.
