Default 14" Carlini Menace Apes on RoadKing Special.. Opinions

Do you like the look of these Menace Apes by Carlini ?


I am either going to pull the trigger on an order for 14" Carlini Menace Apes or 14" Factory 47 Malo Bars.


Do you like the look of these curved bars ... or stick with the straight bar ?


THANKS IN ADVANCE

Factory 47s are nice, but the Carlinis look sweet too. Either one would be a winner.

I like the looks of the straight bars better - the concave in curve just looks a little strange to me, I think they would look better if the curve went out instead of in. However, I may be biased because I'm having Factory 47 14" Signature bars put on my 2017 Road King as I type this.

I agree. I like the straight bars better also. Whatever works for YOU though.

You only showed the Carlini. I like those. I didn’t see the others but I assume they look nice too. Go for comfort first. If the same, then which one brings you more joy?

I’m having the 16” HD Fat Apes powder coated for my bike right now. With the digital gauge on the riser being so new, I decided to stick with HD so it will work without fuss. But the curved apes are tempting. They look badass.

Either way will look great. Show us a pic once it’s done.
