You know the carlini evil apes are almost identical to the Kodlin bar except for the girders welded by the top. I myself am 5'9" and the Carlini Evil Apes 14" are perfect for me, I also lowered my bike and put a lepera bare bones on it. It is the most comfortable bike I have rode. It fits me perfect. Carlini makes quality stuff, Road6 customs in my opinion are junk. I installed the 8" holey rollers on my wife's bike, and they were a pain to run the wires internally. Where the joints are welded the 3/4" pipe protrude on the inside. This makes it very aggravating to buy something and modify it when it's brand new. Just my experience.

16" Apes here and I love em' . The key is the pullback and the end-drop or you'll be uncomfortable.

Hell Hound, do you have any pics of what those Yaffe bars look like mounted, maybe from the rear without the fairing blocking some of it. Sorry for being picky, I am interested in Yaffe's Monkey Drag Bars and those look similiar.

Here is the new one's they are selling now...

I have the 12" bars and just did the fat bob front end. I find them to skinny and not really caring for them.

Yeah I have to agree they don't quit look right. Maybe if they were taller they might pull it together but the short height just doesn't do it. I put 14" Santee narrows on my wifes FXDC and they follow the lines of the forks real nice.

Default Handlebar Decisions...

I'm currently looking at Handlebars and I found the website wild1inc.com, which seems to have some awesome stuff. I've also been emailing them and they've been pretty helpful. In the spirit of double checking everything, I wanted to see if anyone knew how high I could go with stock cables and wires? Let me know what ya think!
