Default Carlini Electrafied Apes, Feedback,????

2007 electraglide thinking of going with apes, Any one have the carlini electrafied apes?

1. If i go with 12inch do i still have to change out all the cables?
2. Any one have these bars ,pictures i could see?
3. I am more interested in the 15`s not sure yet if i could go with 12`s and the old cables defenitly cheaper.
4. I have 18in Carlini`s on a Wideglide. But why are they double the price of other brands? i could understand if the chrome is better,better steel,American made. But is it Better? What makes them more than other brands?
5. I installed the bars on my Wideglide, do i use the same technique,pulling the wire harness out of the frame and unplug, or should i cut and Solder?
5. Thank for the help. Will

I think all of your questions could be answered if you just called Carlini and asked them. If you've already installed a set of their bars on one of your bikes, it seems that you should already be familiar with their quality and what cable length to use etc. I think you should start with a call to Carlini and ask them. They're the experts at this stuff after all. Thats what I would do anyway. Just sayin.

if i call and ask them are they the best,what do you think they will say ? I want feedback from people that have other brand bars to compare why a big price difference, i dont need to know what length cables i need,just if they need to be changed with 12inch bars, just sayin.

Just saying what I would do.

You had other questions regarding cable length, not just quality. You did say you've already installed a set, so I just figured you'd already be familiar with them.

you buy the bars, have them delivered and do the string test to measure for cables

i ran carlini bars on my nightrain (more pics in my profile) and they were good quality. i moved to another company that hand makes the bars in the states. carlini has them manufactured (not in house)

Hadn't heard of them till this post. They were even hard to find on Carini's website. Picture stunk. I'm not sold. Maybe they were just bad pics and someone will post some better ones.
