Default Carlini Bars Alternitive

All, my wife has a 14 RK and likes the height, rise and width of the Flying Ape 1.25" 14" Stepped bars. Are there other bars out there that have the same rise, pullback and height? She would like to see other bars in that size. I am about barred out tonight trying to sort through them all.

Those 14" Carlinis are probably closer to 15.5-16", based on their website info.
Saying that, the Wild Ones Chubbie apes and the LA Chopper Tree-Huggers get good reviews...

Thanks, that is helpful. The problem with the LA is they are too wide for her.

There are some bar makers; BR Bars and Vinditka come to mind, that will make them to your specifications. That may be another option for you...

Hope I spelled the "V" name right...😬

I think ya'll are missing the point. His wife likes where the bars put her hands. She'd like to know if there are other options in terms of how the bars look.

OP is asking if anybody happens to know other bars that are functionally the same but aesthetically different.
