I had West Coast Tbars, a built motor and 13.5 shocks with a fully built front end on my 2009 road glide in 2014 when I built it that way. I heard the “why don’t you just ride a dirt bike” comment so many times from the older guys back then… now look every one has tbars and shocks with reservoirs sticking out the back.. 😂
Yup had 8" risers and Sportster bars 16 years ago and then WCTB MX Bars on my Electra Glide Police 12 Years ago. Put the Original MX Bar risers FM Risers and Fly Racing Bars on my Road Glide. Oof of all of them WCTBs MX Bars were the most Solid and will built and the Bagger Bars that my late brother designed for WCTbars are going on my 100 Year Anniversary Ultra Classic I recent inherited from my Pops. Such a dramatic performance upgrade on a bike!!
Thanks Matt, loved this video! Going to your parts page to check selection. Your videos are informative when it comes to tech tips and spectacular when you highlight riding destinations! Thanks!
Matt you the man! Your one of the reasons i just completed motorcycle training and passed my M1 license test. You got so much knowledge bro bro! Opened my eyes to such a beautiful tradition thank you! Much love keep it up!
On my RKS 2017, I went with Highball Burliegh 2 inch thick 14 inch high. They are very comfortable and with being so thick it gives a T bar control feel. You all saw the same bars on M$B bike. Enjoyed the video guys. I often share these with friends when they have concerns.
Matt, love your breakdowns. Parts, style, bikes, you break it all down from all the angles. Your perspective of being part of one of the Halo Harley shops, but still a rider is great. You cover it all. Both as a guy who has and can ride whatever he wants, but also as a guy how has to "swipe his card" to pay for it. Great balance.
Thanks for the info. My local HD dealer said to go shop the internet, we don't do bars on an Ultra. Your video gives me hope that I can get the bars to make my Ultra the bike it wants to be.
I went with the Kraus set with top tree that has a fork lock. 10” pullbacks and their ODI bars. They now have gauge relocation that is top clamp on the risers. I can see my navigation screen entirely and my gauges are right in front not blocking the view of gauges or control center or sitting on my faring. Very clean setup ,excellent handling and comfort for both long hauls and cutting canyons. This is on my 2020 Roadglide special and this works for me. Of course I’ve done many other things to suit my triangle along with it.
So much respect for the info. True and to the point. Appreciate that. I’m shopping for bars a bit higher and pulled back for my 2022 road king special. I’m 61 years old and I love my king. Just need a bit more comfort. This video helped a lot.
Yeah I’ve made a lot of the costly mistakes you guys refer to in this post. Bars too high, insufficient lean angle for my riding style, not enough wind deflection or overall seat comfort for me or my pillion. But…. the experience of doing an extensive custom build was amazing as I learned so much about Harley-Davidson motorcycles and what I actually needed from a bike. It was an expensive (wasteful) exercise though. Nice vlog 👍 as always lads.
Laidlaws!!!, got the first stamp here... Thanks for making these very informative yet easy to understand videos, and staying blunt Matt . Like you said: "should you get the bars in you don't like them?" NO!!! let's not overwhelmed the scene.
I replaced the drag bars on my 2011 fxdf with the stock bars that came on the wide glide.Im 6 foot kinda rangy 64 years old not as strong as i once was i find these bars give me good control and confort.
Great content gentlemen! A lot of guys in the club are all over the T-bars. They look fantastic. I a black Road Glide Special in my back garage that has the one piece T-bar setup. I’m holding the black RGS for a my club brother who is finishing up his Navy in Japan. Honestly, I hate riding that bike. I get the T-bar trend but it’s not my thing. But I see why it’s popular. You guys are always on top of everything in what goes on in the H-D Universe.
I've had T bars on my Bobber Triumph since I first built it in the late 90s and i used parts from the early 70s to build it. Just going back to the roots of customs.
In 2020 I bought a new SGS and one of the first things I did was put aftermarket bars on. The bars were still wide and offered a clear view of the gauges and info system. Later I changed the whole bike to a performance bagger going with the Kraus inverted front end with their fly Moto bars. What I found that the wider aftermarket bars were fine for freeway riding but in the canyons I found them lacking. With the fly Moto bars (10 inch risers) freeway riding was still fine but they sure made all the difference in the canyons. It all depends on how you ride and what you like.
Going from my street bob with a pull back riser T bar set up, to a bone stock ultra classic electra glide is a big change. I miss my old thrashin bars, but I don't want to lose my fork lock/accessory switch on my bagger.
That Road King classic is so nice. Can't believe they discontinued the RK Classic. I'm sure it was a big disappointment for Laidlaws. A lot of Road King classics passed through their doors over the years. The Deluxe and RK classic both gone now. Hopefully the Heritage sticks around.
Didn’t see you guys mention Sportsters, but that T-bar style suits the Sportsters incredibly well too. I was initially planning to get a 10” rise with a 1” pullback Bung King riser with the HD Drag bars on them. Ended up with the 12” rise with a 4” pullback Rolands Sands Ape bars, but I may put the Bung King riser+Drag bar setup on it in the future.
Amazing how styles change through the years. I’ve had apes, drag bars, and now pray to T Bar Jesus , lol. If you like speed (which I do), T’s are the way to go (only my humble opinion).
What is the highest bar I can go with all stock cables. ? I have 10 inch pull back riser with a 3 1/4 bend handle bar. Would like to go another 3/4!or 1.5 inch bend. Will I be able to do this without changing my cables ?
One question I have is if it's possible to replace the large gauges/speedometer for something smaller while relocating them for the Road Glide Special.
I have dna monster bars 14" which are extremely low quality but it has a bold design. They move forward and back while riding which sucks. I think I am moving to TS t-bars soon. Thanks for the video. Best!
What does the Labor cost look like to do a Thrashin Supply set up on a Road Glide Limited? We have shops local to us charging 8-10 hours for bar jobs, wondering if these set ups are easier/less time consuming for you to install.
What's a ball park dollar amount for that thrashin' supply 9.5" pull pack that Brandon was rocking? Very Interested in that set up, wanna add a gauge relocation (which I think T/S now makes)
not really, I can see both speedo and tac just fine. As far as cheap, not sure where you are coming from.. no performance issues whatsoever @@abdallahmoussa1983
I used the stock bars took them off the riser and drove the pin down ,reinstalled the bars and repositioned them froward about 1.5 ". 2020 road glide limited. bought it there .
I understand HD can’t put too tall bars on the bikes from the factory so what I’d like to see from them is keeping slack in the wiring and cables so you can go up 4-6 inches without changing anything else than the bars.
I think Ts on Baggers look good. I have Ts on my FXDL but I have a Fused Bar on My Bagger. No pull back (bad for some(s) wrist) but it gives you a similar T/Z Bar feel. Agreed T-Bar Bagger will be popular for some time.
I had handlebars with little rise, little pullback. Even after adding risers, I felt too hunched forward (uncomfortable). Looking for comfort I replaced them with used 10 year old polished stainless steel Road King bars on standard risers. The old Road King bars are so comfortable. Perfect ergonomics.
Sticking with my 1 1/4 apes,14 inch high. I’m 5’10,so they are pulled back a little for easier turning,but my arms are nearly straight out. I’m comfy that way.
I cannot imagine any other setup other than the KRAUS on my roadglide 2020. But i am so confused. do I need the tripple tree or I can install the setup without it? it is an expensive setup but I love it and I have tried various roadglides with multiple options of handlebars, the only setup that suits me well is the KRAUS.😊
Matt.... as always another great video, thanks for the information! I'm thinking of doing an aftermarket air cleaner on my 2022 RG Special, I love the look of the clear oval shaped one on the black RG ST that you show at the 3:00 min mark in this video. Do you know the model and brand of this one?
Great video Matt! I run 16” Factory 47’s on my street glide and I’ve road a couple bikes with T Bars and they are very comfortable. My next bike will definitely get T Bars.
I just left Myrtle Beach fall bike rally and saw hardly anyone with t bars. I personally love t bars. I have them on my bike. These old east coasters don't get it!
I personally don't care for the T- bar look, my son has them on his CVO Glide. I have Longhorn Beach Bars on my King. But that's what is cool about HD, make the bike your own baby!
@Brandon.....where did you get the steering lock cover for your Road King? I have a 21 RK and was thinking of doing the same setup as you have on your bike.
I just heard you recommend parts from Kraus performance ? Satya Kraus is crazy . He builds big twins he take out on gravel and dirt roads and slides them sideways a at 100 like jay springsteen
@@brandongutierrez5166 thanks, I kinda looked. I think I need to check into it further. Looks like guages can get relocated???? Depending on what you go with???? I need to check out what other riders are using and ask pros and cons questions. The T bars look really cool. But I can see a $500 at home project getting out of control.... who am I kidding, I bought a 2021 RG limited FLTRK. My crayons are half eaten so I think ill go with "I want my bike to look hot" lol thanks for the direction to check out.
Great video Matt. I spoke with somebody at Krauss and they said that I will lose my heated grips if I go to their system. I live in a snow state so it’s not an option to lose those heated grips. Have you heard of any modifications to get those heated grips on the Kraus system (moto bars)?
🛑🛑 I think the T Bar look is really cool, however the “void” left by relocating the gauge cluster (like on a Roadglide) doesn’t to me seem aesthetically pleasing 🤷♂️. As they say however, “to each his own” 😀👍💯. Great Info Matt. 👍 You guys in California are always ahead of the trends. The T Bar look will be heading East in the US market. 💯
you loose your ignition switch the gauges are so low you can't see them or so high they block the radio screen if your using it to navigate , for me just a taller set of bars is the way to go on the roadglide.
As someone who has no experience with ape hangars or T-bars; Can't you get essentially the same hand positioning on a set of Apes as you can T Bars, if you do it correctly???
not a fan of tee bars personally. Had them on a soft tail and couldnt find any mirrors that would work. couldnt see anything except my shoulders and arms terrible in traffic
@@MattLaidlaw the Son of anarchy tv show didn't invent the club and T-bar style but I believe it helped popularize it. As stated in the video, The advantages of adjustment options and custom fitment is infinite. As any style people are exploring options. It wouldn't be a surprise if at some point a few riders will combine T-bar risers with apehangers, just for the attention it'll generate...
I had West Coast Tbars, a built motor and 13.5 shocks with a fully built front end on my 2009 road glide in 2014 when I built it that way.

I ride a 11 ultra classic I love the apes you have on your bike Matt
Going from my street bob with a pull back riser T bar set up, to a bone stock ultra classic electra glide is a big change. I miss my old thrashin bars, but I don't want to lose my fork lock/accessory switch on my bagger.
thrashin supply and kraus moto both came out with a replacement upper top tree that still alows you to use a fork lock with a tbar setup

I used the stock bars took them off the riser and drove the pin down ,reinstalled the bars and repositioned them froward about 1.5 ". 2020 road glide limited. bought it there .
Yea, we quickly discovered the pin could be removed and the bars rotated in 2015 when the road glide was redesigned.
Hate anything with a miter cut on any type of motorcycle. JMO. Good video!
I'd try some EMGO "Sport Rise" or Buckhorn Bars atop of those risers they are far more comfortable and look tons better as well.
Putting set of Thrashin on my wife’s Triglide. Not sure brand on my Road Glide. They were on when I bought it. Used to have a Dyna I put them on.
I understand HD can’t put too tall bars on the bikes from the factory so what I’d like to see from them is keeping slack in the wiring and cables so you can go up 4-6 inches without changing anything else than the bars.

With the poly bushings how much more vibration are you going to feel compared to the stock rubber? Im told by others it’s quite substantial? Thank you
What you will feel is better control, tighter steering and not vibrations.
I cannot imagine any other setup other than the KRAUS on my roadglide 2020. But i am so confused. do I need the tripple tree or I can install the setup without it? it is an expensive setup but I love it and I have tried various roadglides with multiple options of handlebars, the only setup that suits me well is the KRAUS.😊

MJK Performance makes one similar
Yes, the other commentor is right. It’s an MJK air cleaner. They look amazing but are very expensive. 1,500 bucks for one.

See i built a performance roadking and decided to go back to a Viclas build. To each their own.
At 1 min and 45 secs there's a green road king. Can you tell me what bars are on it? They look nice and thick.
I'm trying to figure out if Andrew is running the kraus moto 32" bar or a thrashin 30" mid bend

Hah! Maybe a year or two. Or maybe I’ll stick to a streetglide.
what is the set up Brandon has on his King?
I’m running the thrashing supply 9.5 pull back riser with there mid bend bar
FUNCTION OVER FORM !!! T bars perform !!
Ohlins in the rear, GP going in the front, Kraus MX bars and risers. But I don't speed... :-D
👍Appreciate your audience, for supporting I've got a Present for you .. Let's converse with the above name on Telegram ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
As someone who has no experience with ape hangars or T-bars; Can't you get essentially the same hand positioning on a set of Apes as you can T Bars, if you do it correctly???
Yes. There are many companies with similar hand placement dimensions. It all comes down to style and preference
Typical “bagger apes” are very wide compared to tbars or motto bars.
What fairing does Andrew have on his road king?
Russ wernimont.

Kraus #1
not a fan of tee bars personally. Had them on a soft tail and couldnt find any mirrors that would work. couldnt see anything except my shoulders and arms terrible in traffic
Think the Sons of anarchy tv-show kickstarted this trend with the club style bikes....
Actually SoCal bike culture started this trend with the tall bike movement on the Dynas. We just took it to another level
@@EddieBlazer well, with two big twin chassis platforms, the Dyna option is not an option with the M8 powertrain.
That would make sense and it's something that is commonly said but from my experience it's a false presumption.
@@MattLaidlaw the Son of anarchy tv show didn't invent the club and T-bar style but I believe it helped popularize it.
As stated in the video, The advantages of adjustment options and custom fitment is infinite. As any style people are exploring options. It wouldn't be a surprise if at some point a few riders will combine T-bar risers with apehangers, just for the attention it'll generate...
Take your foot off my bike/ LOL
My dyslexia read this as "Rise of the T-Baggers" 🥜
Might as well have been. Haha.
Nice. Now Laidlaw Harley should market this as their Exclusive Harley T-Bag line of bikes. The riders will be referred to as T Baggers. 🤣🤫
Haha. I already call performance baggers P-Baggers
DO THESE WORK ON AN 08 HERITAGE? THANX
Yea you can put t-bars on a heritage.
@@MattLaidlaw THANX MATT!
