Default Carlini fly'in apes

Recently I saw a picture of Carlini's fly'in apes in the American Iron magazin, I think they would look great on my bob. I couldn't find more info on the carlinidesign.com website, has someone placed this apes on their bike?

I had some similar to the Fly'n Apes on my last bike. I've got the Gangster Apes on my current WG.

Carlini apes are 2" taller than what they have listed. So there 14s are really 16s and the 16s are really 18s.

funny i saw this post... i was just looking at the flyin apes last night... i really think a pair of 12 or 14 inch would really look sick on a dyna!

i'm seriously considering a 12 inch set (considering what Sway just said about rise length)... but man, they are expensive!

I have 16" Gangster's on my Bob. They measure 16".

Thot about the Flying Apes, but I like that pushed forward look of the Gangsters.

14 or 16 depends on your arm length and how radical you wanna go. I have looong arms and I coulda gone with the 18's easily, but I love the way the 16's look. Its obvious your apein, but its not crazy tall. And ya, theyre expensive.

They may have sent me the wrong bars but would not admit it when I called them to let them know that the 16" bars that I ordered were almost 19" when I measured them

I looked on the site and the Gangster's do run a little longer than the stated height. Looks like the fly'in apes run pretty true. Sway I bet they sent the wrong size.
