Common questions
Are these 16-inch ape-hangers compatible with my Harley Touring model with a batwing fairing?
Yes, these Harddrive Bagger Ape-Hanger Bars are designed for Harley-Davidson Touring models from 1980 and newer, equipped with batwing fairings and throttle-by-wire systems.
Will I need extended cables and wiring for these 16-inch handlebars?
Given the 16-inch rise, it is almost certain you will need longer clutch cables, brake lines, and electrical wiring to ensure safe and proper installation. We recommend consulting a professional for specific requirements.
Are these handlebars suitable for models without throttle-by-wire?
These bars are designed for throttle-by-wire (TBW) equipped bikes. While some modifications might allow use with cable throttle, it is not their intended application. Please confirm your bike's system.
