Question Carlini Flyin Apes - Who's got em??

I'm considering some Flyin Apes for the RG and wanted to see some pics. Also, I'm curious as to what height you got and how tall you are etc...

I think the the gangster apes are much better looking. They fit my bike perfect. I have 16's, and I'm 5'10".

Thanks for the info. They look awesome! I just need to decide on size right now, the pics help. I'm guessing no neck pain etc... with these? That's what I'm trying to get away from.

I just ordered a set of Gangster 16" (black) for my Train.
Wanted the Chino's but they said 4-6 weeks.

I'll post up some picks once they get here and I get them installed.

Cool. I was thinking that the rise was the cause of my pain.
