Default West Coast T-Bars.

Never rode a bike with them. Is there any avantage to running them, or is it mainly looks. I'm running drag bars which is kind of close to that look minus the extra tall risers.
Do those tall risers add anything to how the bike handles?
Thanks, just curious.

They put you in a good position to control the bike. I've never heard anyone say they were uncomfortable. They are also pretty rigid. I'm picking up a set of their MX bars this winter.

Thanks. I like the stock drag bars that I got. Just wondering why so many guys run them out west. Don't see many around here.

I've got 28" wide, 8" rise 'frisco bars from LowBrow; good compromise between comfort at speed AND control when ridden foolishly...same as drag bars on 10" risers.....

I have never ridden with them, but am going to go with them. I have never heard anything bad about them and i like the look of them. Its a "socal" look if you want to say, that with the small fairing has been around since the late eighties. Looks damn good still though.
