Maybe when a guy spends $400 on something for his bike, he expects it to be damn near perfect. I would. Particularly from a company with the reputation that Carlini has. And, yes, some guys are OCD about their bikes. Some not so much.

Well it isn't all great with Carlini I had my issues with them in the past. That being said I'm sure the bars are straight, do yourself a favor and go look at your bars now sit on the bike and take notice that your right hand "looks" like it is pulling to the right side. Put the bars on and run them it will not affect your riding. As far as him expressing himself on his complaints that is well within his rights nature of doing business you just can't keep 100% of your customers happy.

i'm just not satisfied that the left side is straight and the right side is at a slight angle. for 400 bucks would anyone else keep them. i posted pictures of the 1rst set on another thread and everyone there saw they were crooked. So it's not just me. If you pay a lot of money for something you're expecting it to be right. sure was'nt expecting to be attacked from people just because i want what i paid for.

I guess removing a dozen or so posts wasn't enough of a hint to take your bickering off of the boards, so I'll try looking this thread.

Good Luck with your bars Freak...
