Ive been looking back and forth at Carlini and Factory 47 bars in both 12" and 14". I cannot decide which I like and would feel the best.
I am 6'0" and have a 32" inseam. I like the Malo bars from Factory 47 and either the Evil Apes or the Pist apes from Carlini.
Does anyone have any insight on these? How do they feel, how do they look? Pictures are always super helpful too. With bars being $500+ not something I want to buy more than once....
Im about the same measurements, I had 14 Carlini gangsters on my 19 RK special and loved them.
So on my 20 RG special I put 14 factory 47 sig bars and loved them.
Both felt about the same and I feel the 12 or 14 height is perfect middle of the road for comfort and slow speed maneuvering. My opinion of course.
I sat on my buddies 19 Road Glide today with the 14" Factory 47 SIGs it felt great, do you know if the clamp and rise are the same between the RK and the RG? My fear is I go 14's because of his RG and when I install on my King they end up being a little too tall. Your King looks awesome! I contemplated the gangsters but I kind of like the sharp edges of the MALO, Evil and Pist bars.
I am running Factory 47's, 12 inch and about your size. Great bars and very comfortable.
Do you feel the 12 are enough? Or I guess more so do you ever wish you would have gone 14? My buddies Glide with the F47 SIG 14 bars feel great but will the Road King feel the same as the glide?
