Handlebar clamp question
I have narrowed my bar choices down to Carlini 1.5 Gangster or LA Chopper Tree Huggers, either would be 16" rise. Question I have is which system offers better clamping force, more rigidity, less bar movement, etc.

Thanks. They look well made and well designed, not sure why I don't see more people running them.

Probably due to the fact you have no adjustment once mounted. Any bar that mounts in the clamp style riser can be pushed forward or pulled back to accommodate the rider. I have my WO577's pulled back about 3/4" from the Wild Ones "specs". It suits me, maybe a guy a little taller would push them forward almost touching his fairing. Something to consider.

Noted. They looked like they were welded solid from the pictures I looked at. I'll have to check that out.
