Carlini Apes , Gangster or Flying ?? Let's see them
One of the Mod's I am doing this winter is getting a set of 16 " , 1.25" Carlini Apes but am not sure which ones I want to purchase ?? The Flying Apes or the Gangster . Looking to get the 16 " Gangster or the 14" Flying Apes as they run an inch taller than advertised .
These will be put on a 92 Heritage .
If you have Carlinis on your Heritage post a picture of them , Help me make up my mind ........
Thanks

I have had both (currently have the Flying apes on a Deluxe). The biggest difference between the two is the pullback. The Flying apes bend towards you so there is more pullback but you can minimize the pullback by simply rolling the bars forward. Both are very nice. FYI, my 16" Flying apes actually measure 17.5".

Mind if I ask you why your removing them Fireman? I'm just curious. I am looking to go with the 16" 1.5" gangsters this winter but still a little on the fence about it. I want all the info I can possible get on apes before I make the move. I am affraid they will aggravate the shoulder and back issues I am having. I love the look, just not sure how well my body is going to like them!!!

My vote for the Flying Apes.... As has already been stated, allow the room for the extra inch or so in height. Not sure what bike they are going on, but the fatter bikes and bigger ones look best with the 1.5 inch bars. If it is a wide glide front end or those type like the rocker, than the 1.25 are a better match up.
Good luck!
