Handle Bars

Im toying between the idea of stock sportster bars, or something like this:

http://www.priceleap.com/compare-prices/compare-prices/Khrome_Werks_Custom_T_...

I like the t-bar type look.. if i choose to buy one of those, should i get it with or without dimples?

also im about 6'4 and im wondering what rise i should go with.. either 4, 6, or 8 personally i like the look of the 6.

It's just a saying in the Navy regarding puddle pirates... they are required to be over 6' so they can wade ashore if their boats sink.

Bars for Harley's have 3.5" (center to center) between the bars, which will not fit the Savage triple trees.

dichotomous Ex Member	Re: Handle Bars Reply #10 - 03/01/06 at 08:12:50 how wide are the risers apart? as i how wide do I need the center section to be? I want to go with a 6-8" rise, 30" width, and -4" pullback instead of the 8" rise, 27" width, and 11" pullback, definately want to kill that pullback, plus I want flatter bars.
