Default Let see your carlini apes..
Looking to get some carlini bars.. I have a 2000 softail heritage with barebones seat. Trying to decide between 14s or 16s. (flying and gangster). Any suggestions appreciated. Im 5'10 with a medium reach... Lets see pics with height of risers and your height. I need to hurry and make up my damn mind.

Gangster apes, 14".

6' average reach. I'd go with the 16s if I were to do it again.

I dig 'em.

Carlini bars are really great. I have a set of the Gangster Apes and I really like the look and feel of them.


I also have a brand new set of 18" Flyin' Apes for sale. They were mounted on my Road King, and then I took them back off and decided to go in a different direction.

So yeah, they're still brand new. Let me know if you're interested.

Also, I'm your same height. I can provide pictures of the bars if you're interested.
