Prepping for Your New Handlebars
When upgrading to a 14" ape hanger, it's important to consider how it will affect your control lines. While these Harddrive bars are designed to be cable-friendly, the increased height means you will likely need longer brake lines, clutch cables, and throttle cables to ensure full range of motion and safe operation. Always measure from your stock setup to the new bar position to confirm exact requirements for your Harley Dyna or Sportster.

Common questions
Will this 14" ape hanger fit my Harley with a wide glide front end?
No, this Harddrive handlebar is specifically designed for V-twin motorcycles equipped with narrow glide front ends. Wide glide forks require a different handlebar width for proper fitment.
Will I need to extend my cables and brake lines for these 14" ape hangers?
It is highly probable that you will need longer cables and brake lines for a 14-inch rise. We recommend measuring from your stock handlebars to the new bar position to determine the exact length extensions required for your specific Harley Dyna or Sportster model.
What kind of riding position do these handlebars create?
These 14" narrow ape hangers create an aggressive, chopper-style riding position with a swept-back wrist angle, ideal for riders seeking both a bold look and comfortable control.
