Default Carlini Menacing Apes installed
I just completed the install of Carlini Menacing Apes 16inch with chrome control and Supreme Legends Medieval grips. The bars from Carlini are 16 inches. But when I measured the bars they measured 17 inches. I am 6ft 2inch and they are even with my shoulders and they are a perfect fit for me. It was cold 30 degrees out but it was worth it I couldn't be happier. I tried to add the pictures with my tablet but it wouldn't let me attach the pictures so I had to get on my laptop in order to attach the pictures so here you go tell what you think. Do I need to add some type of clamps to the brake and clutch cable in order to go with the flow of the bars?

I just did the Carlini Menace bars on my SG. Didn't get much riding time but, definitely worth the coin.

Congrats on the bars! Don't think you need clamps but it looks like the brake line could be run cleaner in the 5th pic. Like the handgrips!
