Im running 16" Carlini Flyin Apes(1.5" thick). My personal experience was awesome and I even got a blemish versions for $75 cheaper. The blemished spot (hardly noticable) was under the bottom of the bars where it is covered by my top clamp housing. Im using stock style controls so I can't comment on that but the quality on my set is top notch. The 1.5" thick bars are sawwweeeeet.

The carlinis also measure out taller than stated. My 16" bars measure out to almost 17 1/4", and the 1.5" thick bars are wide 42" before putting on the grips.

I also attached a side shot....I'm 6' with my boots. It may not look it, but it's very comfortable for me. So far my longest day with the bars is about 420 miles.

I just ordered a set of the 16" carlini gangsta apes and these things are perfect. Some of the best chrome work I've ever seen. Bit pricey but you wont find bars like this anywhere else. And as far as customer service goes... I thought they were spot on.
