+1 for HCC I've bought 2 sets from them. They can internally wire them for you and it saves a bunch of time.

I had Carlini's on my last bike and have Chubby's on my current bike.
Both great quality.

16" bars have been perfect for me.

I went with BR's because he had the aggressive look I was going for and made them to my specs. I liked Carlini's Evil Apes also. Seen both on peoples bikes and they were all happy with them.

BR was pretty damn cool. Spent a lot of time with me on the phone and gave me a lot of good advice. My 16" Sweeping Beaters were just ordered on Monday, so I can't speak from personal experience yet, but I'm confident I'll be happy after my research here and other places.

Last but not least, check the laws in your area. Last thing you want to do is switch bars, wiring and cables just to get ticketed, or worse from a LEO and ruin you ride. I think its a maximum of 15"s over the seat in Hawaii.

Right on!

Be patient when running the wires, the angle on the top bend is a PITA...
i found that a piece of small chain and gravity worked like a charm!, much better than anything else i tried. oh and a lot of windex...

Remember the evil apes are stepped to 1 inch on the clamp area, so, if you have a lo with stock risers (1.5'') you need to get new risers that fit a 1'' bar.

Take a look at Carlini Evil Apes in black. I put a set of 14” chrome on my Heritage and they look great and fit the bike and my height perfect. A little spendy though. I don’t have photos on this computer sorry no picture.
