Cool 14" or 16" carlini gangter ape or flying ape

Hello brothers
i am lil confused with which ape bars should i buy from carlini, gangster or flying. also i wana kno how tall should i buy 14 or 16 or 18, i live in canada and as per harley dealership canadian law does not allow riders fists higher or above shoulder level with ape handlebars. As u all kno carlini r final sale, i need some help from u guys on this.

Carlini's are taller than than most bars. My 16" Wild 1's were not as tall as my 16" Carlini's. I guess t he 16" Carlini's feel more like 18"'s.

To be safe, I'd go 14s. Especially if they run tall, as Drew already stated.

Normal 16s put my fists just about an inch over my shoulder. So, that may spell ticket time for you. 14"s is definitely an ape bar without doubt. I would not hesitate to go with those.

Here is a pic of a set of wild 1 16"'s and Carlini 16"'s I took yesterday. The carlini's are the taller ones. Look at the difference.

I may be wrong but judging from the above pic, Carlinis don't seem to have the pullback compared to Wild 1. Seems to be less bend in the bar toward the grip end.

You are absolutely correct. the wild 1' have 12.5" of pullback, the Carlini's have maybe 5" of pullback. I still like my Carlini's better, just food for thought.
