Good choice you will not regret it.Just remember the 18" Carlinis are probably more like 20".My 16" Gangsters measured well over 17".

Nice! I'll bet you can't wait. They are back ordered as the shop where they are manufactured is moving locations.

Be aware the 14"'s are like 16"'s and the 16"'s are like 18"'s.

Thanks Drew, I've been shopping for 16's - but these are the only Bars where I'm even considering 14s

Country Deluxe's bars appear they to be a nice fit (I'm kinda long, 6'2")
