Both are high quality bars so it's more of what you want your bike to look like. I have 10" Carlini Evil Apes that are in my sig pic

I've got 3" risers and 14" br bent beaters on mine. I'm 5'7" and love the whole setup.

More picks of my bars in my profile pics if you're interested.

Bill's shop is down the street from me.
That guy custom makes each and every bar as if it were for his bike..
I just had him make me a set of 1 1/2" new waves that had to fit my 1 1/4" risers and the 1 1/4" clamp on my Windvest.
It came out perfect. .

I'm 5'8" and had Bill make these 13.5" Lighting Bolts. With 1.5" Carlini risers, my hands are slightly below my shoulders.

Both are damn good choices, but I am partial to Carlini.
