I pried my Carlini logo off with my finger nail. They come engraved with their patent number under the grips.

you could always remove the label or if they are engraved, get them rechromed.

Like myself, freeboy has taken his issue a little further than necessary but I do agree with him.

Funny when you think your Harley 1200 has roughly 7 different Harley Davidson or Bar and Shield logo's on the bike right from the dealer. Install any HD aftermarket part and good luck not getting some branding on it somewhere. For what the bars cost, enjoy the extra "status symbol," it will make you feel better and your bike go quicker. For what it is worth, they are great looking bars.

The label will come very easily and it will not mess up your chrome.

Default Carlini - pick something else

Bought a set of apes from them and it was the worst powdercoating job I have ever seen. Worse than any blem you could imagine. Worse thing was they would not re-do it, and they would not refund me 100% of the cost of having it done locally. The label went in the trash.

Default Carlini is outdated

The Carlini handlebars in all honesty are out dated. Plus I hear knockoff companies are mass producing them from China they even have the Carlini plate and everything. My buddy has some and I could not tell them apart from the real one. Some Asian company Called (AOX Motor i think?) is selling them on ALIBABA for $60.00 with free shipping.
