Hey everyone...I've scoured the forum's many threads on ape-hangers in hopes of finding photos of softails (or any model really) with 10"-12" Carlini apes. It seems like the shortest I'm seeing are 14". If I go with apes I'm thinking I'd like to stay with something in the mini-ape range, and I really like the look of the Flying Apes (which I understand are really 1.5" taller than advertised). So, if anyone out there has 10" or 12" Carlini's on their bike, I'd love to see some photos. Thanks in advance for taking the time to post.

P.S. I've bought nearly everything I need to put on beach bars, but I've heard over and over again that apes are way more comfortable and beach bars give you back pain. I'm REALLY leaning toward apes after all the reviews...seems like I've seen a lot of guys switch from beach bars to apes, but not the other way around.

 

I'm interested in seeing these too. I have the 14" Evil Apes and wanted 12's but couldn't find any pictures anywhere. I think with the 12's and shorter they have different widths. Not sure if I want the bars any narrower.

 

I also originally had 12s on my mind but as stated you cant find anyone that did caralini 12s or shorter. I also went with 14s. glad I did though. They fit me perfect.

 

Un ape handlebar is from 12" up.... un "ape" of 10" is not ape!!! :-D

 

there is nothing wrong with a 12 inch hanger, i have 18's on my bike now and will be going down to a 12" bar.

 

I knew I wasn't the only one who can't find 10" or 12" Carlini photos anywhere on the web. They sell them, and I know somebody has them...let's see 'em!

 

Carlini used to have a pic just like this showcasing every Gangster and Flying Ape size.
I haven't see it in a while.
It be nice if Carlini Designs chimed in on this. Aren't they a sponsor?

 

Scratch that idea. They are not a sponsor.

 

I think these are 10" evil apes

 

I e-mailed Carlini a couple days ago, but haven't heard anything back. I was trying to get info on where I can find photos of the shorter bars, as well as cable lengths for the 10" Flying Apes. I called them yesterday, but reached voicemail. I left a message, but still haven't heard back. Hopefully I can get this figured out soon.
