Hey, I am looking for some highway bars for the T... I have seen a few options, Cobra and MC as well as one other I didn't like at all... does anyone
have a good shot of any of these bars on their T's?? I'd like to see for sure what it looks like rather than go with the generic pic most
manufacturers use! Thanx in advance!

Thanx! That's the one I have been looking at, so far I have liked it over the MC one... guess it may come down to price now... but since Cobra is less than
10 miles from me, maybe I can go to them directly and work a deal

Cobra is preferred as far as fitment with the stock windshield goes. MC is the preferred brand if you plan to add hi-way pegs to them and you have long legs.
With both brands you will have some contact of the windshield lowers, but with the MC it can be enough to crack the shield in cold weather. Not to mention
being annoying whenever you need to turn the handlebars all the way such as when parking in a tight spot. I 1st bought the MC's, but just could not get
used to the windshield lowers hitting the crash bar every time I needed to make a tight turn, so I sold them and bought the Cobra's. The Cobra's set
further back about 3" at the outer edges. If you have long legs and go with Cobra, then you can still get more leg stretch by buying hi-way pegs with
off-set mounts. Kuryakyn has a nice selection for this purpose.
