Default High T-Bars

Anybody running exta high T-bars from this place on a Softail?

Gotta admit I sort of like the idea of a 12" T-bar. I like my 8" Burly but wish my hands were where my mirrors are. I was planning apes but this is something to think about. I'm not considering 14" or 16" T-bars, too radical for me.

A buddy has the 14"'s on his Dyna. they are sick. I think Black wctbars on a night train would look wicked. I am a dealer too. The only pics I ahve of the Dyna he has a roll bag in front of the bars which makes it hard to see what they look like, but here ya go anyway.

I am thinking about the same thing for my train 12" is what i want. I actually asked the same question a week or so ago. i have the 9"1/2 risers with 1.5 pull back and i want my hands up and a little bit more forward from where they are at right now.
here is a pic of my bike with the risers installed.

Gotta ask ,,Is he waiting on a fairing for that bike ? Seems like he is trying to hide the T-bar riser look with the bag,, to me its kinda like smelling the milk before you put it in your coffee ,, smells a little sour then once ya put it in it kurdels ,, Imo apes look better!

He is not trying to hid anything. He just put the bag on a few weeks ago after he noticed I always keep mine on. I'd rather have a place to put stuff when I go shopping anyday. He used to have 12" z bars before these. They got destroyed in a wreck. To each their own.
