had 16" wild 1's.
just installed 16" carlini gangsta apes. 1.5 thick

 

there we go! Thanks everyone. Drew your sled is sick! Harleyheaven you are pushing me back to my original thought of 12" apes. I would like to keep the lean/line of the bars, in line with my forks. This should give me a good clean look with the pullback I want. 12's, 14's, 12's, 14's, decisions, decisions. Thanks again all, trust me it does help.

 

Hwkeye85, a little to tall for me, but I have to acknowledge beauty when I see it and your sled is looooookiiiiiinnnnnng goooooooooooood!

 

Looks great! This is what I plan on doing but maybe going with the 18".
One question though: How does the windshield fit with the Gangsta's? Normal?

 

Not sure if your interested but I have a 13" pair of Carlini Gangstar Apes that I am going to sell in the spring. I put them on the bike last spring and dont care for them as much as I do my semi pullbacks... they are in excellent shape and were not purchased as blems

 

My hands are definitely above my shoulders with the 16" Carlini's. I am 5'9".

i had 18" Carlini on my deluxe and loved them. this was bout 3 years ago when hardly anyone had them...

TJ makes a bitching product....

 

A buddy of mine has a set of the 16" gangster Apes on his Heritage. They look great. Very well made bars.

 

I have the bars pushed a hair bit further now then in the picture on accident. My windshield hits plus I need to pull them back a bit any how. I mainly run a detatch fairing and the bars have no issue with that because the curve of the bars flow perfect with the inside of the fairing

 

Thanks, but I don't like the Gangster Apes as much. First they are wider and I'm short armed so I like the more narrow 1.25" flying ape. I also like the curve of the flying ape better. Wish they were the ones I like, I'm into saving money!
