from having a set of wild 1's chubby outlawz, i was not impressed with the welding done on the bars. i've seen carlini's and they look little better quality.

I love the gangsta's on any Deluxe for sure. That is my vote and also the way I will go when I add a Deluxe to the stable.

Go wild 1 if your going for a classic look, carlini if your going for that custom chopperish look. Didn't get carlinis because I'm not a fan of the bend. The evil apes look alright from the front and the back though
