Carlini Evil apes
Having trouble choosing which apes to go with but my latest choice is Carlini Evil 17in apes for my Road King. What is your opinion on these bars for my King?
Thanks

On non-fairing bikes I personally like the lines of the Gangster or Flying Apes a little more, but that's my opinion. Carlini makes great bars and you will be happy with whatever you chose. Good luck.

Evil apes are gorgeous bars as are all of carlini's. I run the Flyin apes on my ride. You can't go wrong with Carlini's. If you need cables and such let em know. I can get you the perfect length for what you need. DREW@DRVTWIN.COM Thanks for your service as well!

Good looking bars, but a pain in the rear to wire internally, the insides of the bars are horrendous, I had a pair of the same bars on my 2010 RKC, looked great. Once they're on you'll be happy, but as much as they cost, the quality of the product inside is not up to par. Wild 1 bars are a lot cheaper and much cleaner inside.
If you can deal with that I say go for it, I was happy with the look, and happy once all was said and done, but the installation was a pain, more so than usual, because of the bars internally. The welds are not cleaned up at all and can cut the wires, especially on the throttle side if you have TBW.
Good luck.

The Evil Apes are pretty nice looking bars. Not sure you could really go wrong with any of Carlini's bars....
But, I can see what Fire-Medic is saying...that corner might be a pain to run wires around, but running wires over a bend like that just requires patience. Once you're done though, it will be well worth it.
