Default Carlini apes
Just finished up putting some 14'' Carlini Gangster Apes on my 2012 RoadKing,I gotta say i am very please . Only hiccup i had was failing to deburr the hole where the wires go. The service from the folk at Carlini was excellant as well.

Good deal - show off those bars w/some pics!

Funny how any little edge will catch the wires/casings and stop progress. I shredded a few holes in the ends and had to shrink-wrap/fix...it was a beotch!

The Gangster apes were made for the Road King! I went with the Heritage style bars and the Sundowner seat to get rid of the backache inherited with the stock bars and seat setup. While a "cheaper" way out, I'm thinking that it wasn't extreme enough. Somewhere down the line I'd consider the 14's in 1.5" TOTALLY internally wired and cabled.


BUT - I'm digging your 16's!
