I've ordered 14" Carlini Gangster apes for my 2002 RKC. The only thing I have not ordered yet is the Magnum Shielding Chromite II upper brake line because I do not know what angle brake line connector to get where it connects to the master cylinder. I would like the brake line to flow with the bars. They have a 35*, 90* and a 180*. I have called Magnum Shielding and they can't advise me how they will look... They gave me 2 shops to call and one is out of business and the other does not answer.

First of all good choice on cables. First had the Sterling Chromite but then changed to the Black Pearl. I have a 2001 Road King with 14" Reaper bars and just stayed with the 90 degree fitting that is already on the bike as it flows nicely. Why do you want to change?

 

The bend on the Gangster bars is totally different than stock which is 90*. I had read that that bend will cause it to hit the gas tank. I also am **** enough to want it to flow with the bars. I have seen some cool bars but with shitty looking cable bends... I wish I could run them all internally!

My bikes has a 25* with a different version of Carlini's. I have the Evil apes. It seems to flow pretty well but ti seems a straight (no bends) banjo would look the best on there.

 

See if you can find something to go on here: http://www.carlinidesign.com/Custome...ml#GangsterApe

 

I had 16" Carlini Gangsters and I ended up sending the brake line back to Magnum and had them put a 90 on there. Just a cleaner look.

 

I have always liked the look of the Carlini's on your bike. Just curious. Did you try the 180* cable on your bike? I thought the 180* would match the clutch side. Hate been so frickin picky but paying this kind of money... I am also assuming that is the 90* on there in your pic.
Thanks for the info.

This is what I am looking at for the cables. Any input.
Throttle 8" 33218
Idle. 8" 34288
Clutch. 8" 32128HE
Brake lower 37005
Brake upper 6" 37229 for 90* bend at the reservoir
Or. 6" 37629 for the 180* bend at the reservoir

Thanks for all the input. Can't seem to get answers anywhere else.

 

The Evil Apes are narrower than Gangsters which is why I think a straight banjo would look better on mine. Here's the pic. But on a Gangster I'd do something different as the controls are out so much further.

 

I actually screwed up and ordered it with a straight end on it and didn't like the look. I wanted it to flow with the throttle cables and the top of the bars, so I sent it back and they put a 90* on it, which is what is in the picture. I couldn't find a closer shot. It good to be picky bro, if you aren't happy with it straight out of the gate, it will always bug the sh*t out of you when you look at the bike. I hope this helps out Mike. Good luck!!
