I'll have to check C-to-C on the T-bar, but I do like the wide spread. A lot easier to ride that left lane stripe to let the truckers know your still there, and not trying to go around them on the right side. I give them all the time they need - hey, they need to pass slower traffic too, and lord knows, sometimes it may take them a mile or more to get around another truck, but passing them on the right side just isn't cool. They can't see you!
I help them out by hanging back, and peeping over their left shoulder so they know they have a clear shot at getting back into the right lane safely. My light bar allows me to do that safely, too, as it is wide enough to allow them to see it in their left mirror without me having to crowd the left stripe too close. They seem to appreciate the courtesy - they let you know when you finally get by them on their left side. I don't go out of my way to pi** too many people off intentionally. I will go out of my way a lot to please someone, though. The rewards are priceless.
The H-D light bars I keep seeing are very narrow spread - I don't see how they could even do an adequate job of lighting the sides of the road! Makes mine look like a much bigger bike at night.
