FAQs

Is this handlebar compatible with all motorcycles?

It is compatible with any bike that utilizes standard 25.4mm (1 inch) handlebar mounting clamps, provided there is enough clearance and cable length.

Does this handlebar come with pre-drilled holes for control pins?

No, this is a universal-style handlebar; you may need to drill holes for your switchgear pins depending on your motorcycle's specific control housing design.

What is the diameter of this handlebar?

The handlebar has a consistent diameter of 25.4mm (1 inch).

Will this bar rust easily?

It is protected by a triple special coating specifically designed to resist corrosion and wear, though standard maintenance is recommended.

Can I use stock bar-end weights with these?

If your stock bar-end weights are designed for 1-inch bars, they may fit, but you should verify the inner diameter of the tubing before attempting installation.

Troubleshooting

Cables are too short for the new handlebar width.

Measure the required length and source appropriate aftermarket extended cable and brake line kits for your specific bike model.

Handlebar slips inside the riser clamps.

Ensure the clamping surface is clean and free of grease; if slippage persists, check the torque specifications in your motorcycle owner's manual.

Chrome finish shows spots or dullness.

Clean the surface thoroughly with a mild soap solution and apply a high-quality chrome sealant to protect against oxidation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable steel construction provides excellent longevity
  • Triple-coating finish offers superior protection against rust
  • Classic chrome finish fits a wide range of custom bike builds
  • Wide profile improves handling and steering response

Cons

  • Wide 970mm span may necessitate aftermarket cable extensions
  • Large width might be unsuitable for heavy lane-splitting traffic
  • Chrome finish requires regular polishing to maintain shine

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure your motorcycle uses standard 25.4mm (1 inch) handlebar clamps. Because this bar is 970mm wide, it is essential to check that your existing clutch, throttle, and brake lines have sufficient slack to accommodate the new geometry without binding or stretching during full steering lock. Always perform a full lock-to-lock test before securing the controls. To care for the chrome finish, use a dedicated high-quality chrome polish and a soft microfiber cloth to prevent micro-scratches. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can compromise the protective triple-coating layer.
