Default Night train or fxst with 12 to 14 tbars

I was just wondering how many of you have t bars on your night train and if I can see them?

I'm coming from a kind of the performance club style world. I bought an night train 2000 it's carbureted. I wanted something with a little more old school feeling shake. But now I'm a kind of annoyed with how low the 6" risers are. I'm thinking about getting some 12" risers but I'm not sure it'll look goofy.

Default 09 night train with 12" apes

The 12" apes give me a pretty comfortable riding position.

Just from a comfort standpoint,I'd give it some thought first.A friend of mine put 12" T bars on his '13 Softail,and when I rode it,both he and I felt that the riding position was very awkward.With the rake of the front end on those bikes,it put the bars kind of in your face....seemed very cramped.I didn't like it at all,and I'm 5'11".

I have 14” Wild One Outlawz and I am really happy with the riding position.

i can see being in your face but im 6'2" and that can make the difference also with the apes ive got a little more adjustment than with the t-bars

Yeah,I've got 17" apes on my FXSTC...I was just speaking to his question about 'T bars',and that they have no adjustability,and puts them right in your face.I would think 6'2" would be even worse.

I was thinking maybe 10 to 12 risers and bars with 2 to 3" of rise. I had apes on my street bob and didn't love the sail in the wind feel. T bars took care of that.. can you get more narrow stable apes?
