Default Handlebars for a wide glide
I have a 2017 Dyna Wide Glide and I'm trying to figure out what bars to run. I'm 6'1" and would like to stretch out a little. I'm leaning towards some 10" or 12" T bars but not sure how the look or function on the bike. Hoping you guys can give some advise and maybe some pictures to help out. Thank in advance.

Ape hangers, since they're on 3/4 of the bikes on the road.

Ran drag bars and risers on my FXWG. Made splitting lanes easier.
