Default Which apes?

Ok so I'm getting new bars an wanted Carlini Pist Apes but due to the shop I'm going through and the adjuster that's not going to work. I have 300 dollars to play with and I want 1 1/4 inch bars, chrome, 16 inches, and I want them to have wicked lines like the Carlini bars, the Todd's Cycles bars, etc. what are your suggestions. I have to have a decision by NLT Saturday.

Carlini Flying or Gangster, can't go wrong with either. SJ Ron

Unfortunately the shop can't order carlini. The short version is they aren't a distributor. As for the 300, it isn't cash in hand. It's excess money I will have left over on the claim because one of the things they were going to replace was a certain amount and it didn't need to be replaced so the money got rolled over. With the value of my bars plus the value of the other item, it equalled 300 bucks. Basically I have to get it from a place they can get bars from because its not 300 dollars I have to spend in my wallet. They can get almost anything too, except Carlini.

Carlinis were almost 400 shipped to east coast. They were pist apes.
They have "blems" which are chrome apes that have some blemishes many claim u cant even tell.

I got the Blems for 275 and they looked perfect, you should be able to work something out with the shop ordering them. Maybe have them refund the money to you, turn around and buy the bars then have them do the install. Don't know if that will work or not, every state has diffenent laws for insurance claims but I've seen claims in Kalifornia treated that way.

The Shop said if I order my own bars they will take 300 off of what I owe them as long as I show them the receipt. I either want Carlini Pist apes, or a specific set of BR bars. If I have to go through the shop for whatever reason, I am going to get the Todds Cycle bars.
