Carlini Flying Apes
I have the Santee 12" low Bonanza Bars. The issue I have is the Santee has a 6inch pullback, which is too short for me. I did some general measuring but obviously I was wrong.
So I am looking at changing out my bars. I prefer a mini ape type bar with a 10-12inch pullback. I found on the Carlini site there Flying apes have a 12 pullback. I just curious anyone with Flying apes how do you like them. How is the pullback on them? Can you post some pictures, preferable from the side/back as I am trying to get good idea how they sit on my Fatboy Lo.

If anyone has any suggestions of other mini type apes with a 10+pullback please let me know.
Thanks

Try the "Ape **** thread". There may be a few pics there for you to look over. I have the 16", 1.5 Gangsters sitting here waiting for install. From all I have been able to gather they will suit my needs and comfort level best but I guess we won't really know until we get them on. I'm not big on buying anything in the dark but I have zero Ape experience and I don't know anyone who has them.

Nice bike HarleyHeaven. I hope I didn't over shoot myself going with the 16" bars. It's my 1st rodeo with Apes so about all I had to go on was information gained from this website. My bike should be done in a few weeks so time will tell. Also, because of this triple bypass about all I am going to be able to do for a while is sit on it and listen to it.

Thanks Hareyheaven, exactly what I was looking for. I'm 5'10 but prefer my hands at, below shoulders. Really leaning now to the carlini's.
Good luck Tbone with your 16inch apes

I have the 17" Pist apes and they feel great! They feel a little different at first but you will love them!

I have Carlini High Roller risers. I'm in Daytona and don't have a tape measure handy but I think they are 1 1/4" rise and about 3" tall overall.
