Just mulling some ideas over for my off season plans, and putting a list together. if anyone has 16'' Carlini gangster apes, with something like a 1 1/2 riser on a Deluxe, I'd be interested in what length cables were used?.
I've never been a fan of apes, and I love my Burly beach, but I get bored real easy, and of all the apes it would have to be the Gangster.
I am very interested in what you decide to do and if you do go ahead and pull the trigger on the Gangster apes I would like to hear how it went and some pictures. I am in the same exact boat and I am thinking of putting the 16 gangster's on mine this winter.
I have full 1.25 " 16 Carlini Gangster Apes. I went with +10 cables all around. Think I could have gotten away with + 8 no problem. But if you are going with the 1.50 bars I'd stick with the +10 as they are about 4-5 " wider.

Cheers for that Malingerer, I'm sure I've seen pics of your bike before, but if you could give me a link to some detailed pics, I'd appreciate it, if the 1.5'' bars are 4-5'' wider than yours, then how wide are yours?

Mine are 36.5" wide the 1.50 Carlini's are 41" wide. For what ever reason I have not been able to post pics for the last several months. I am not sure how to attach a link ether. Sorry I am a computer retard.
PM me your email and I will send you some good pics.
Pm sent, wow, 41 '' thats probably a little too wide, hell that's wider than my Burlys.
Thats why I bought the full 1.25 at 36.5 "s wide. But to be honest after seeing the 1.50 bars and sitting on Fireman 1501 bike I wish i had gone with the 1.50 bars. Simply put they are AMAZING looking bars.
Another thing I would change I would have gone with the 14's instead. I am only 5' 10" with shorter arms.
Pics sent let me know if they came out alright. They are small but double click on them for a large size image. Any questions let me know.
How do you like that drivers backrest and where did you find it? I am 6'3 and struggling to keep my stock seat but I'm afraid it's a losing battle. Ive been looking for the one I see on your bike but can't seem to locate one. Was wondering if I should keep looking or just go for a different seat. Any feedback would be helpfull, Thanks
