Lots of good advice. Been riding with apes for a long time. Seat height/position makes a huge difference on how any handlebars feel. I've had both Wild 1 and Carlini. Big fan of Carlini. Great finish, nice shape and perfect postion. I'm 6'2" and have 16" flying apes on my 2009 FLHP. Eventualy, I will put Carlini apes on my 2013 CVO RG as well.

Great points! I'm also riding an a C&C so I'd be a bit further down. Those were the exact bars that Ive got on my wish list. Looks awesome on your king!!
