Those are good looking bars ... but for barhoppers only.

I think they look great but then Im on west coast close to bay area...;-) there is a member on here that put West Coast Tbars MXTbars on his bike. I like the look and they are very comfy!! Search google for "Tbars on Street Glide" his bike will most likely come up. I think it looks good. I am thinking about converting my bike back to RK and installing 16" Tbars. To each his own. Low bars look like SH*t and are uncomfortable...keep in mind Im 6'5" so the bigger the better. What ever you do do NOT get out of the norm cuz you will be bashed.

I'm 6'3 and I think that is part of the reason I like the taller setup. I ran 13" Cyclesmith apes, and I put on around 20,000 miles a year so staying comfortable is very important, but ultimately it comes down to what works for the individual.

I know I've heard that those stock height bars work nicely for the internet surfer bikers...

I had a set of Wild Ones WO-560's on my Superglide a few years ago and they not only looked good but were very comfy to ride with. I bought a used set to put on my '04 Road King but ended up going with a set of +2 Sweepers on the King. The T-bars didn't look that bad, but they were low rise bars.

It's your bike, do what you like. Get a set, mock them up on the bike and see what they look like. If you don't like them, try something else.

I saw a set on a black street glide last year at Bayside HD in Portsmouth VA. One of the service guys bikes. This is one of the meanest Street Glides I have ever seen. I say go for it! Deffinate change from Monkey Bagger Bars. You have to reposition your radio but other than that it’s a go. Its deffinately a game changer. Would love to see some pictures when your done.

I'm from the Bay area and see alot of those on the Dyna models. I agree they don't look right on a stock bagger, just my 2 cents... I'm in the market for a used RG and saw one for sale with a T-Bar setup. I wouldn't buy it.

Ok, I'm bored so I thought I'd post a photo of my scoot to add fuel to the fire.
