Default Carlini Road King Riders

Sorry for the mulitple threads tonight, but my bike is in the shop and I'm trying to take advantage of the bike being apart to do get into some other projects.

So.. Could any Carlini bar riders post pics of their RK's with Carlini.. Thinking about the 12" or 14" but open to ideas.

I have 14" apes and I had to use +8's you would probably need +10's. Give Johnny a call at hdbikeparts.com a call he'll get you set up.

Neighbor just had the 12.5 flying apes, I think Gangster would look better. FYI, they run taller than advertised.

HEre's a side by side of the stock RK with the 13" Gangster apes. I'm 6'2" 34" inseam and my arms are level. This height is comfortable and easy to ride aggressively. Since the pic I've pushed them FWD a couple of inches. With these bars no more lower back pain.

16" Carlini Gangster Apes 1.25" thick.


I'm 6'2", and very, very happy with my Carlini's! When I bought them, I had been debating between the 13" and 16" Gangsters, but it seems like everyone always says they wished they had gone bigger, so I ordered the 16"s and I'm so glad I did.
