I have the Wild 1 16 inch and am waiting for my new Carlini Evil Apes to arrive. Wish I had gone with Carlini all along... I like to positionin a bit better IMO ...

If you decide to go with the wild ones might have a pair to sell with everything... Here is a picture... I might be waiting about 2-3 months for my new handlebars though... Only thing that is a bit rusty are the cables... But the chrome housing, chrome battistini grips, chrome levers and bars are in great condition!

Oh will also have the Carlini Evil apes bar for sale.... But again 2-3 Months (depending on the Dr.!) and those are brand new never used....

Here is a picture of both bars on my bike so you can see the positioning... the Wild Ones are installed, the Carlini evil apes are just being held up by me....

I have both. The Carlini's are 16" Fly In Apes (with HR risers) while the Wild 1 Chubby's are 18". Both are awesome and the Carlini Apes are really 17 1/3" so there isn't much of a height or pullback difference. However, the width is the biggest difference. The Fly In Apes are around 34 1/2" wide tip-to-tip while the Psycho Apes are around 40 1/2". I am around 6' and prefer the width (and look) of the Fly In Apes although both are very comfortable and look awesome. SJ Ron

I have to disagree on the pullback difference. They are not near the same. The wild 1's have much more pullback than the Carlini's.

IMHO--the Cars have a cooler look. One thing is that I don't think they are knurled in center--so crank those babies down. WO are all knurled. Probably a non-issue.

Or get the Carlini risers that have a set screw to hold them in place.

I've riden both, I have the Gangsters I think they're about the same as the flyin's just bent the other way and I love'em best bars I've had.
And I agree with the doc the wild 1s have more pullback.
