Harddrive 14" Gloss Black Ape Hanger Handlebars - Harley Touring, Softail & Dyna
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.
Elevate your V-twin's style and riding position with these Harddrive 14" gloss black ape hanger handlebars. Designed for a comfortable reach and an aggressive aesthetic, these bars are a popular upgrade for a range of Harley-Davidson models.
Why riders pick this
- Aggressive 14" rise for improved posture and style
- Durable gloss black finish for a custom look

- Strong 1 1/4" clamping area, tapering to 1" for controls
- Enhances rider comfort on long hauls
These Harddrive ape hanger handlebars deliver a commanding presence and improved ergonomics for your ride. The gloss black finish provides a stealthy, custom look that complements any V-twin, while the thoughtful design allows for a clean, integrated setup with your existing controls.
Integrated Design for a Clean Cockpit
- Gloss black finish for a sleek, custom appearance
- Dimpled and drilled for internal cable routing, hiding wires from view
- Robust 1 1/4" diameter at the clamp area, tapering to 1" for standard grips
- Provides a 14" rise, striking a balance between style and comfort
Fitment and Upgrade Considerations
These 14" ape hangers are a direct fit for specific 2006-2013 Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide, Dyna Fat Bob, and Softail Fat Boy models that come with OEM 1 1/4" risers. For other V-twin models, you'll need to install aftermarket 1 1/4" risers and a top clamp for proper fitment. It's crucial to confirm that your motorcycle does not use a Throttle By Wire system, as these handlebars are not compatible with that setup.
