Can I ask what risers/handlebar combo you are using and how tall you are @Puglia10 ? Thanks!!
Theyre 14" speedkings bars. I am 5;7" with long arms and its very comfortable. For strictly track purposes, itd be better with lower bars but this is also the same bike I drive daily and cross country so comfort comes into play.

Good tips on truck for ac etc. I'm only about 45 minutes from COTA but that's still far enough to be huge hassle if bike breaks. Plus like you said good spot for staging gear and getting out of sun.

I certainly don't have as many performance mods as some of you here but I wanted to share my t-bar setup. These bars are built by @freedumbfab out of Edmonton, AB, Canada (serach for him on Instagram) and are designed to be run with a batwing fairing without having to relocate the stock ignition switch. The t-bar risers have a 4 1/2” spacing at the bottom which matches up to a custom pull-back plate that clears the ignition, and then they taper back to 3 1/2” at the top bar. The installation of these t-bars requires the inner fairing cap assembly to be cut out exactly where the cap switches reside which can create an issue if your bike is equipped with an electronic cruise control switch that sits in this location. To keep everything neat and factory-like, I decided to have the cruise on/off switch relocated to the left switch housing like the Ultra Classic which requires a lower switch housing that can house dual switches (71594-98a), cruise on/off **** (71828-02), and cruise switch (71752-08). All switch housing wiring needed to be extended along with the upper ABS brake line and I was able to use the stock clutch cable. Since I removed my stereo last year, I took things one step further and deleted the audio control switches on the bars and replaced them with plugs (71184-04, 71183-04). Total rise on the bars is 12” and width is about 31” with the grips.

Do performance baggers fall in the same category as touring bikes?

The "Performance Bagger" term is generally associated with the Harley touring platform.
