I agree. Looks like Carlini's.

I wouldn't buy from that guy either. Low feedback and price seems HIGH.

yea but these have internal throttle, clutch and wiring and have push buttoms for lights signal etc so I dont think they are Carlini. I have seen them at the local Cycle Swap meet they have once a month around here and they were about $1000 . These have no wiring OR clutch or brake cable showing. All internal

sitting down in my office doing alot of thinking and reading old issues of American Bagger I remembered seeing a badd *** RK with those bars

it was the march 09 issue with the RK on the front cover and those bars with no cables or wires

Try Hotch 20" apes I think those are them

Those some badd *** bars but i don't know if I'd trust them either
