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 feature an imposing 16" rise and a brilliant chrome finish, designed to give your V-twin cruiser a standout custom look. They come drilled and dimpled for internal cable routing, ensuring a clean and uncluttered front end.
For riders seeking maximum visual impact and an unmistakable riding posture, these Harddrive 16" ape hanger handlebars are the answer. The significant rise not only transforms the profile of your Harley-Davidson Dyna or Softail but also provides a unique, arms-up feel on the road. The durable chrome finish ensures these bars will maintain their shine, while the thoughtful design for internal wiring allows for a truly custom, clean installation.
These Harddrive handlebars are a direct fit for specific Harley-Davidson Dyna and Softail models that come with OEM 1 1/4" risers. Owners of other V-twin models can install these bars by utilizing appropriate aftermarket 1 1/4" risers and top clamps. It is crucial to remember that these handlebars are not compatible with Throttle By Wire (TBW) systems and are intended for cable-operated throttles.
Will these fit my Harley-Davidson with stock risers?
Yes, if your bike has the OEM 1 1/4" riser setup. This includes 2006-up FXDWG, 2008-2013 FXDF, and 2006-2013 FLSTF/B models. Other V-twin models will require 1 1/4" risers and a top clamp adapter.
Are these handlebars set up for internal wiring?
Yes, these Harddrive handlebars are drilled and dimpled, making them ready for internal wiring to achieve a clean, custom look on your V-twin.
Will I need longer cables and lines for a 16" rise?
Absolutely. A 16" rise will necessitate significantly longer brake lines, clutch cables, and throttle cables/wires. Always measure precisely to ensure proper fit and safe operation before ordering.

These bars would be perfect in every way except that the hole at the bottom for the internal wiring is at the front of the horizontal tube and not on the underside. A real disappointment as it appears that the best way to get a set of bars with perfectly placed holes is to buy a set of dimpled bars and drill them yourself. Sorry folks ... just calling as I see it.
Got everything on and looks good but then it snowed. boooo
The only problem was the holes going in (upper) were a little small. Used a die grinder to open them up
Fit nice. The extensions weren’t quite long enough so I made my own and layered the to slide into the bars more easily.
handle bars had holes for wiring made it easy to wire up and install switches bars were good quality
Terrific product for the price. Immaculate condition on arrival, no burrs or sharp edges in the wiring holes. Prompt shipping as well. Very satisfied.
