Default Carlini Slickbacks on a Rocker?

If anyone has put Carlini Slickbacks on a Rocker - post some pics .....wanting to know if 15" pullback is about equivalent to stock rocker bars?

Just want to verify some of these things before I sell my left kidney off to buy these bars.

Thanks

I had them on my 08 Fatboy. While I think the look of the bars on the bike was great, they sucked for comfort in my opinion. With that said, I think they looked so good that I left them on. Ill dig a pic up of my scoot. I had a 23" front, 18" rear etc so it was set up with that "rocker style".

Drawdown- thanks for the post...thats is what Im worried about spending the ca$h and then not happy with them. What was the discomfort riding with them? Pics of the bars on your FB would be great.

I have them and I love em! Get plenty of compliments. It all matters as to what you like and your cormfort level. For me me, it was just a matter of changing the grips. I'm 5'10, 240.........

Im 6'3, 230lb and with the amount of pullback on the bars, it just felt cramped. I like the stretched out feeling of a straight drag bar or a set of apes like I have on my deluxe now. I could compare the feel of them to operating a garden tiller lol.

DrawDown- That's what I needed to hear, my arms are long and looks like slickbacks aren't for me though they definitely look good. I think I will go with some different apes...I need about a 2 more inch pullback with what I have now...thanks you saved me about $360.
