Default T-bars on a bagger?
I know there are a few Electra Glides and Street Glides out there with T-bars, but I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience or input on that configuration.

I like the look of these bars...

IMO, those handlebars are as ugly as a mud-fence. Not trying to be a d!ck, but they just scream sportster. Again, that just my opinion.

Not trying to be rude, but they just don't look right to me.

Im guessing you have never been to the Bay Area. T bars are very popular out here. I met a guy that wanted to buy my roadglide and he had T bars on his 2003 Roadglide.

Hey, if you like them then do whatever you want. I don't think they look right on a bagger but love them on my Dyna Super Glide Custom, would look great on the right sportster as well but in the end it only matters what you want. Take care.

I know there is a kit for a RK but EG/RG would need some fabrication. I really don't like the tall T bars but normal ones look kool on the right bike.

Yeah, I could probably like that look if they were a much lower version. Sticking up like that it just ain't right.
