Carlini Bars?
We all know that the Carlini Gangster and Flying apes are a little taller than other brands such as Wild1. My question is does anyone have or have seen a set of Carlini Original apes 1.5"? I was looking at them and noticed that they are comparable to Drag Specialties 1.5" Buffalo Bars. The Buffalo bars offer more pullback which would be more comfortable for your wrists. While the Buffalo Bars are 10" wide at the base the Carlini bars are 11.5" which shouldn't matter because they are both 41" wide. Any thoughts? $300.00 compared to $187.00.

Even thought I don't have their apes, I always found Carlini's lines are bang on from bumping into pics. I dig how they line up width wise to the forks from front profile...plus a little curve for style mattering on what apes.

I got a set of blemish 16's anf you can't even find a blemish except where the controls mount. I orderd what I thought would be long enough extended cables but not way did that happen had to reorder again, went with +12 to ensure I get what I need.
Carlini bars are very much thicker walled than stock and most aftermarket bars. I can tell ya that!

I have 16" original carlini apes. I also got the blemish set for $225 and couldn't find anything wrong with them.

I'm gonna pull the trigger this week but gonna make sure comfort, quality and clean lines all contribute to my decision.
