Carlini VS Wild One (Chubby's)
Just put on 14" Wild One apes on my 98 heritage (no pic yet)..Now it seems that I'm sitting to far forward ! I've rotated the bars some but it doesn't seem to help.. I've changed seats too and it does change my seat position some what..but I don't wanna keep buy n seats....
Any one change to Carlini apes & find a difference?
I do have one more seat to try..but after that.........

How about some pictures that show the problem? How tall are you? How far forward do you have the bars rotated?
Looking at the dimensions of the Carlini bars, they seem to have less pull back than the Wild 1's or close to the same. I know there is some variation in how manufacturers measure their bars though.

When I use my stock seat,I feel like I'm to far toward the bars..I also have a Corbin solo seat which I tried...this seat puts me even more closer to the bars. Last seat (which I just picked up but didn't get yet) Bandlander...will be the last seat...After that,I'm going to check out the Carlini bars.
BTW.......Dimensions on both bars are close,but I think the Carlini "Flyin Apes" are 34.5" W VS 36.5" W on the Chubby's .

I understand what they are saying. On top of that, since day one, my bike has had a bit of instability, some headshake at above 75 or so, and pushing the bars forwards on my 1.5 Carlinis amplifies this DRAMATICALLY. (Ive got 14 Carlinis that measure out at 15.5) I would think this is common to all bikes, as Ive changed rims, tires, lowered the rear suspension, and changed forks, still there. I dont know what causes this, but I know with the bars pulled back in line with the forks, and the addition of a windscreen (mine is super small, a windvest), the shake is all but gone unless I shift my wieght some and pull back on the bars, then I see it some. I wouldnt reccomend pushing those bars forward........even though at 6'6" these need to be pushed forwards for max comfort for me
