I'm having the same dilema in Calgary. Really like the look of the Gangsters but not sure about the pullback comfort wise or the width but I like the 1.5 thickness over the Wild 1's 1.25 on my Fatbob.

Get th e1.5" Carlini's, they are so much nicer. But...you will need their 1.5" risers too. I have them and they really kick ***. I posted the difference in height between them and Wild 1 16"'s the other day. See the pic here. The Carlini's are more like an 18"
