Default T Bar questions

I'm new to this forum and I've searched around a lot but don't see too much T bars going on Softails. I have a 06 Night Train, and I wanted to get some T bars for my bike that have similar measurements to my current bars. I found the Burly Brand Jail bars and I was wondering if anyone had them, enjoyed them, hated them etc along with if anyone has any other opinions based on what they have on their bikes currently. I have some aftermarket bars that thr previous owner had on the bike with extended cables and what not but they just aren't my style and sit to far back for me. I appreciate all input on the matter and thank you for reading!

Just my opinion, but I think T-bars don't look good on Softail's for some reason. Probably why you don't see a lot of that combination. But there are no rules when it comes to mods on your own bike, if you like it thats all that matters. I went with Todds Strip Bars on my Breakout and couldn't be happier. Wrists are still like drag bars, just a little higher up.

I bought a pair of 10" risers with 1.5" pullback and turned the risers around to push them further away from me T Bar questions-photo456.jpgT Bar questions-photo699.jpg

I just bought a set of Burly Brand drag T-Bars with 7" rise. There similar to H-D street slammers with a lower price.

Dave, please don't take offense... I can see you've done some really incredible and beautiful mods to your bike but I just don't get those bars and risers at all! They don't fit with the lines of your bike and kind of look like an afterthought. I think a set of 'T' Bars with the wires running internally would look much cleaner and BETTER! (Again, forgive me,)

No offense taken its mine and everyone has an opinion. But what wires do you see? Yes they were kinda an "after thought", was actually just trying to get a little more stretch without chopping the frame but I'm more than likely going to chop it up. I actually want a pair of T-bars but I don't want any pullback which is why I am actually making some this winter.

Apes or drag bars on a Softail. I have drag bars. I don't think T-bars as a lot of Dyna guys run flow with the lines of a Softail.
