I've got the 16s and1.5 diameter with high roller risers. I'm 6'1" and 230. Fit me fine. It all depends on the riding your doing and where you want your hands. I would prob say the 14s would be good since they run about 1.5 inch taller than said size. But the final decision is all yours




Man I just noticed I gotta get my fat **** back to the gym. Lmao

 

Go with the 14's. By the time you put the risers on and given your height the 16's will be to tall and uncomfortable. I'm 6'1" and used the lowest risers I could find and my hands are still just above shoulder height with my 14" Carlini Flying Apes (1.5" diameter). To put Carlinis into perspective..... my buddy bought a set of 18" apes for his Indian and they are about the same height as my Carlini's. Also, as someone else mentioned earlier the width is another consideration.... the Carlini's are quite wide and definitely a very noticeable difference when taking sharp corners at low speeds. Took some getting used to. Beautiful bars and that 1.5" diameter is a really nice beefy look.

 

Thanks for the input guys. After reading these posts, and seeing what some of you taller guys said about the 16"s, I think I'll end up going with the 14"s with the high roller risers. My next question, which would also be pertinent if I go with the 16"s as well is, should I compensate extra on my cable length? For example, if I went with the 14"s, with the risers, that should theoretically be about 16.5"s give or take a little bit. So, I should go with the 15-17 cables if I buy the 14"s and 18-20 if I get the 16"s. Carlini said I would be fine with the exact length, i.e. 12-14 for the 14"s and 15-17 for the 16"s but it doesn't seem right to me.


@ED- Those wheels are sick man.

 

I have the 18-20 for my 16's because of the high rollers.

 

How is the cable slack? Just about perfect?

 

Not too bad, I'll take a pic tonight, could have gone smaller

 

Thanks brother.

 

I don't know anything about apes, but I do want to thank you for your service.

 

Thank you for your support. I can't wait to get back stateside later this month!

 

Another question for everyone that didn't relocate their turn signals. Did y'all have to buy more than one set of electrical extensions or was just from Carlini enough?
