06 FXDLI 16" Evil Apes
So I finally upgraded my bars. Took about 6 hours with two guys. I went we ith 16" Carlini Evil Apes for narrow glide and 1" risers. I used Drag Specialties stainless braided cables from Dennis Kirk because they were open on Sunday. My cables were as close to plus 8 as I could get and I used a 90 degree banjo for the caliper and a 35 degree on the control. I moved my idiot lights to the dash between the gauges and temorarily removed my front turn signals. Had a hell of time filling/bleeding the brakes. All in all it went well, managed to get it out for an hour last night and am very happy with the feel. I am 6'2 and sit.about shoulder level. Heres some pics, excuse my dirty garage...and the bike needs a bath too!.

I think its 34.5. I lined up my stock bars and was surprised how similar the pullback and dimensions were.

The Carlini website is a little misleading on sizes. The only two available in the narrow glide are 10" and 16", I wanted 14" but they only came wide.
By the way, internaly wiring these bars was gravy! I took a piece of 50lb braided line off one of my fishing poles and put a split shot weight on the end and dropped it in. Then just electrical taped the wires to the string and pulled it through.
