Common questions
Will these bars fit my Harley without new risers?
Yes, if your bike has OEM 1 1/4" risers, like the FXDWG, FXDF, and FLSTF/B models. Other models will require aftermarket 1 1/4" risers and a compatible top clamp for proper installation.
Are these handlebars compatible with Throttle By Wire systems?
No, these Harddrive handlebars are not designed for Throttle By Wire equipped Harley-Davidson models. They are intended for cable-actuated throttle systems.
Do these handlebars require longer cables?
A 12" rise often necessitates longer brake lines, clutch cables, and electrical wiring. We recommend measuring your current setup and consulting a service manual or professional for precise requirements.
