Hey Capt Morgan, can you do me a simple, but huge favor? Can you lay a broom stick or something across the bars from grip to grip, then tell measure from the center of the stick down to the dash? Give me that number, and where on the dash the drop hits? I'm trying to get an idea of your hand placement.
I'm trying to figure out which way I'm going too. Carlini Original Ape 1.5's, but they only come 13" or 16".
Takes a bit getting used to, but I almost prefer it to my two up sundowner seat now. I wanted the low profile look, but you give up some padding for sure. All in all, it is a very well made seat and I have no problem going all day on it. That said, most of my long trips are with the OL so I have the sundowner on.
Can do. I won't be home until Thursday, but will give it a go once I'm back. FYI, the 1.5" are wider than the 1.25" that I have, so the measurements may be a bit different, but may give you a rough idea.
That mark, along with the measurements from Carlini's site, will help me bend some wire into a shape roughly like the bars. I'm struggling to get the best idea of hand placement on these bars. I only want to do this once.
