Default Carlini freeway bar

If the 14" gangsters hurt my shoulder as bad as the 16" gangsters I'm thinking of picking up the carlini feeway bars and have a few questions.

Are these the closest to a beach bar that carlini makes? How close to a stock deluxe bar is it? Will I need new cables if I'm running super short carlini risers? Any interference with the tank?


Any picture of them on a softail?

Also, does anyone know who makes a 1.5" beach bar at the clamp so I don't have to get new risers?


Also I have virtually new 16" gangsters for sale, these are 1.5" and I have an ad in classifieds for them

Meh has the 1.5". If you do get them make sure your get the one piece clamp. My favorite mod....very comfortable and cuts into unruly winds like butter. Dont really need the wimpshield now. Also not much of a parachute effect....elbows are still tucked in a bit and relaxed.

No interference with the tank without risers btw....but I didnt try them dropped right down during fitment.

Thanks Jose, I've got carlini's new yet to be officially released risers that look bad *** and are super short so I'm keeping those. Found a set of freeways on eBay dirt cheap that I ordered yesterday, may cancel my 14" ape order today if they haven't shipped yet.

Pm coming back

1.5" or 1.25"? You probably know they are little different in width and pullback. Just in case...for cables sake.

1.5" yeah I know the difference. I figure it isn't that much difference so it should work close enough

Sounds like your cables are approx stock length compared to my luxe cables. I'm glad I kept my stock stuff to see if it'll work.

Hopefully the bars arrive tomorrow or Monday.
