Thank you all!

Fallenares, those photos are great and perfectly show what I was suspecting. I was concerned that you could see the tapering down in size when installed which I don't care for at all! I wish that wasn't the case because otherwise I really like the look of their bars such as the Gangster apes. But with respect to those of you who use Carlinis, I think that's a pretty poor design flaw. I like the way my Harley and Wild One bars are 1.25 all the way to the controls. When installed, you almost can't tell that they reduce at the ends.

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I'll need to give the Carlinis more thought. I also don't like the fact that they don't make any bars that DONT reduce at the center for those of us who run 1.25 risers which is what I'm running. I own 1 inch risers that I can switch to so I wouldn't have to spend money on a set but I have a feeling that the larger risers I'm running now would be so much better at holding a set of tall apes in place and not allow any slipping!

Maybe if I find a used set of Carlinis at a more reasonable price I'll give them a shot.

Thanks everyone.

 

No taper in mine... just those bars that they made have that set up for preference. I am sure there are different preferences on everything. These are Flying apes. Nothing wrong with these.

 

These are the 14", 1.5" Gangsters with stock controls. No issues at all and I LOVE them!

 

Dude they do not taper. Bucky Bars taper. Hawg Halters bars taper. Carlinis do not.

 

Look at the Carlini blems if they have the one you want in stock. A lot cheaper and still
can't find the blemish on mine. Saved me some cash.

 

I have the 16" x 1.5's these step down,no taper.Switch housings,and controls butt up nicely

 

Dammit I gotta get me some apes . Looks good all
