I don't really care for them but at least they don't look as stupid as get back whips and tassles and conches and Wille G skulls everywhere. lol. Seriously, everybody has different styles and opinions on what they think looks cool. As far as T bars go they supposedly serve a function besides looks. A lot of guys who run them say they are great for splitting lanes. They are narrow and keeps your hands high so you don't smack car mirrors when youre splitting. Im quite sure there are a number of people who just want to emulate SOA bikes but supposedly the style has been around for a long time before the show came out. But like I said, to each his own. If you don't like them then don't run 'em.

Not sure if T Bar is a new name but I've got "Drag Bars" on my FXST and love em. They were on there when I bought it used but I'm keeping them.

I had the same Drag Bars on my 93 FXLR that were OEM stock at that time. Maybe I've got T Bars confused with something else.

If you count the skulls in the tank badge then I think I'm somewhere around 160 skulls on my bike lol.


If you dont know what I'm refering to use this pic as reference.
