Smile Anyone with Carlini handlebars

Hi from Minnesota, I've been thinking of putting Carlini gangster ape hangers on my bike. I was thinking either 16 or 14 inches 1.5. Does anyone have any they can show some pics of. And do you like them.
Theres nothing worse than buying something for your bike that you think will look cool, but once you get it on it just doesn't work and your out the cash.
Thanks

I just put 16" gangster apes on a few weeks ago. Here's what she looks like.

After a couple rides I don't have any problems with the comfort. Going to the taller apes is a different feel at first but it doesn't take long to get used to.

There are several ape threads, you've probably seen them by now, if not do a search and check them out.

Good luck with your decision.
