Today I received my Carlini Gangsterapes (14") and the High Roller risers. I brought them to my bike builder and he recommended to mount the risers solid on the t-bone. He said it was because of the torque, caused by the 2 individual risers. I'm wondering what you guys think? I already have the heavy duty bushings from Carlini.

Thanks.

 

I have the same set up but 16" Apes and used the poly bushings from Carlini.Not sure what you mean buy mounting them soild.Using no bushings?

 

Just mount them normal, dont listen to this dude...I have the same setup as do a couple others (but 16") and everything is all good. Im not even runnin poly bushings and mines good to go, so with the poly bushing its a sure thing youre not gonna have any problems.

 

Yes he's being told to use a solid mount with no bushings.
I have the Carlini "Boob risers" and went with poly bushings with my BR 1.5" dia 13" rise Lighting Bolts.

I'd use the bushings.

 

I would just call Carlini direct and ask them.I would imagine there answer would be no.And to use the bushings.You dont want to play with handle bars.

 

No need to call Carlini. He just needs to tell the guy to install them with the bushings. Or find another indy shop if he doesn't want to install them himself.

 

I have the High Roller Risers and 16" Gangster Apes... I already had the poly bushings in from the 14" apes I ran before. No issues at all and they don't budge. You want some isolation.The poly bushings will still do that. Mounting the risers solid will be very buzzy and that goes no where except into your hands and arms. I'd tell him to install what you're paying him to install and quit trying to reinvent the wheel.

 

I dont think he means it bad, for now I go for the bushing set I got with from Carlini

 

Lucky

you will be fine with the set up you bought from carlini.
You wont have any problems

 

I have 14" Carlini Fly'in Apes on my 2004 Fatboy. They are the 1.5" bars with the matching piston risers and I use the poly bushings. They are solid as a rock. No slipping or problems of any kind what so ever. You definitely don't want to solid mount your bars, the vibration at certain RPMs would drive you crazy!
