Default Need Wide Glide handlebar advise

Looking to go with a TBar or some type of drag bar with a pullback. I am 6'3 Any suggestions on what type of a rise I should be looking at or any suggestions on the manufacturer? Thank you. Any advice would be appreciated

A friend of mine did this to his Wide Glide. After the install, he could only ride his bike for about an hour then his back started hurting.

If you have to take the bars off the Wide Glide, then make sure you are comfortable.

IMHO, you just can't improve on what comes on it. But to each his own.

My friend wasn't really concerned with comfort. He wanted the drag bar look. He changed the bars and put on a Bare Bones seat. He no longer owns the bike. He lost interest and sold it. I believe because he couldn't stand to go on long rides with the fellas so he was stuck with bar hopping which isn't that appealing to start with for me.

I went with 9" risers with pull back. The bars are stock night train bars. I'm 6'1 and they fit me perfect. I use to have 6" straight risers and those would get me tired after about 100 miles.

Take a look at ktm_scott's bike. You may like his setup.
