I prefer the clean sweep. A buddy of mine has them on his wife's Deluxe and they are really nice. The question is if they will clear your speedo.

I like the T-Bar better...but it's your bike. Which grip position is more comfortable for you?

You may already know this but Carlini seems to have their own way of measuring rise. I always used the method on the Wild 1 site. I ordered a set of Super Sweep 9" Rise & 11.5" Pullback. The rise was maybe half that by the way I measure. With 9" Rise and 11.5" Pullback I was expecting the bars to be up and back (which is what I wanted) but it was not the case. That's why the DR. made the comment about clearing your speedo. Don't get me wrong they have an awesome product with 1st class fit and finish just know what you are getting. I'm 5'6" and was needing something taller and further back for comfort (and my short arms) so I went with the Carlini 12" Flyin Apes.
