Default Tbars

So I'm wanting to get a set of tbars for my 2012 wide glide. I'm wanting to go as tall as I can using stock cables Jd wires. Has anyone on here done this?

I am looking at the same thing right now. Not sure how high I want to go. I would like to see some pics from the side so I can judge pull back...I don't really like the "Thug Bikes" but dang if mine ain't kinda headed that way...

I would like to go with about an 8" rise. But not really liking the t-bar look. Probably go with a standard 8" riser and drag bar myself. T-bars tend to be more pricey...

Although I did check out an nice 6" Chubby's t-bar today at a local indy. It was $209. I'm looking at about $150 for riser and drag bar.

8" rise is about what I'm thinking too, I just don't like the look of the ones with the pull back in the risers. I've been thinking about the Santee straight up T bars with the gussets. I think those look pretty slick.

I have 8 drag bars with the pullback built in the risers. Just figured they would be a good reference from looks and what I had to do. I had to extend my electrical wires by a few inches. I did not have to extend my throttle cables, break line or clutch cable. Honestly I wish the pullback was about 2-3'' less and I wish they were 1-2'' higher. I'm 5'9'' if that helps.

The Santee straight up are the ones I'm wanting too in the 8" black. I was hoping to find some answers on here about the cable and wiring before I made the leap and bought them .
