Are they true to size or do they run big? Anyone running 13"s??

 

I think the gangster apes are a little taller than advertised. I'll have to measure mine. They're 16" bars according to Carlini.

 

Taller than they advertised for sure. Plus, they do not bend down and back like most other apes. For example...16"'s feel more like 18"'s.

yeah i haven't found of Carlini's that actually measure true to their online specs yet. not really sure how they measure to get the numbers they come up with but great Apes none the less!

 

Go with the 13's Nubs... if you don't luv 'em you can sell them to me...

 

Calculate an average of 1.5"-2.0" taller in Carlinis vs other brands. I have 18" and they are close to 20".

Mimo.

 

when i ordered my 16" fly'in apes from Carlini. the guy over the phone said they were mor like 17 inch.. hope this helps

 

When I spoke with Carlini they told me only the flyin apes run taller ,but I have no first hand experience with there bars.One thing with gangster apes is that there are like 3 different end to end widths.The 1.50 bars are 41" end to end.the 1.25 stepped bars are like 39" end to end and the full 1.25 are the narrowest at 36.5 "end to end(which I like the most).I believe they all have a 11" center.Just more to think about.Good Luck

 

Im going to go with the 13" gangsters.....Going to place my order monday.. So be ready to help me with all my ape install questions. I'm doing the install myself...Not going to pay HD $65 an hr for the install...


All your fault story...I was just going to get a cheaper bar but you had to show me that pic....Thanks alot

 

$65 an hour is cheap around these parts.
