Harddrive 1 1/4" Ape Hanger Handlebars 14" Satin Black - Harley Dyna & Softail
About Harddrive
Harddrive is the house performance and replacement line built for American V-twins, covering everything from engine hardware and electrical to controls, lighting and chassis parts. The range is aimed squarely at Harley-Davidson and Indian riders who want a direct-fit part without dealer pricing, and it spans decades of model years — from Evolution-era Softails to current Milwaukee-Eight baggers.
These Harddrive 1 1/4" ape hanger handlebars deliver a commanding presence and comfortable riding position for your Harley Dyna or Softail. Finished in satin black, they provide a clean, custom look while maintaining a classic high-rise profile. Designed for internal wiring, these bars keep your controls tidy and your front end uncluttered.

When you're chasing that iconic ape hanger stance, these 14-inch Harddrive handlebars are engineered to deliver. They start at a robust 1 1/4" diameter in the clamping area for solid mounting, then taper down to 1" at the grips for standard controls. This design ensures a strong foundation while offering compatibility with your existing hand controls.
Clean Aesthetics and Easy Integration
- Tapered from 1 1/4" at the clamp to 1" at the grips for standard controls
- Pre-drilled and dimpled for internal wiring, creating a clean look
- Durable satin black finish for a stealthy, custom appearance
- Direct fit for certain Harley Dyna and Softail models with 1 1/4" risers
The Right Stance for Your Ride
These ape hangers are a direct fit for specific Harley-Davidson Dyna and Softail models that come with OEM 1 1/4" riser setups. For other V-twin applications, they can be adapted using aftermarket 1 1/4" risers and a compatible top clamp. Always verify your bike's throttle system, as these handlebars are not compatible with Throttle By Wire setups.
