Default The all too familiar question-What bars to get?

I am getting rid of the RSD 16s i have right now. Been looking at the burly 16 apes (not the narrows). Any thoughts? I like the carlini gangsters, but not sure if it's worth the additional $200 over the burlys. Suggestions are appreciated!!

For apes, I love the look of Thomas's (Malingerer) sorry but not sure which ones they are, I'll try & find a pic!


Found some, here we go! (Not just my favourite apes, one of my favourite Lux's on here!)

Those are the carlini gangsters. There $350 or so and I can get the burly for $150....

Actually bro, I think your Deluxe would look killer with the Flyin' Apes, rolled forward some...

I like the bends of the Carlini Gangsters BUT, I don't like them enough to pay over $300.00 for them. I prefer to have my apes positioned straight up and Carlini apes don't have as much pull back as other brands. That is why I have been looking at the Drag Specialties 1.5"x16" Buffalo apes at www.hillcountrycustomcycles.com and the Road King 1.5" riser there also.

those don't look that bad..and for $180 or so, pretty enticing.
