Default Carlini Flying apes

In my search for apes I think I am liking the Carlini Flying apes.

Can anyone tell me the End Rise for the 16" and the base width of the bars. I hear they run taller than the listed measurement.

I like the 34.5" width of the 1.25 but not sure I will like the 12" pull back

I am 6'3 are length is around 35" .

I currently have the Heritage type bars on my 2011 RK

I also like the gangster apes just not sure how they will fit with the windshield.

I have the 16" Flying Apes on a Softail. The 16" are really 17.5". The base width (from where the rise begins on both sides) is around 11". You can always roll the bars forward if you are concerned about the pullback. I am not sure what you are looking for on the "end rise". SJ Ron

looking for an end rise around 16-17"

The windshield will keep me from being able to rotate to far FW

I'm 6'3" and am running the Gansters 16's. I have mine pulled back so I can still run my windshield. My sig pic shows how far back you will need them to run your shield, not too far. Just an FYI, you will need to change out all your cables and brake line for them. Good luck!!!

Like the look they don't seem like they are pulled back to far. The end rise on your 16 is about 17 or is it higher

It's about 17. Carlini's run about 3/4" or so taller than advertised. My arms are just at shoulder level but not taller. Good luck!!
