Important Fitment Information
These Harddrive Ape Hanger Handlebars are designed for a wide range of V-twin motorcycles but are not suitable for Harley-Davidson Touring models with fairings or models equipped with throttle-by-wire (TBW) systems. When installing handlebars with a higher rise, it is generally necessary to extend your existing throttle, clutch, brake, and electrical lines.
