    Fits motorcycles with riser spacing of 3-1/2" to 4". Works with most stock and aftermarket risers (will not fit Baron Kickback Risers).

    Classic ape ha

    nger-style handlebar fabricated from fat, 1-1/4" tubing. This larger diameter tubing gives the bar that massive look, with the side benefit of added rigidity that lessens the normal flex you get in a traditional 1" ape hanger. The bar rise is 17", a height they've figured as the best possible to suit most riders. Each handlebar is bored and dimpled to allow for internal wiring.

    Requires longer control cables, but accepts all stock 1" type controls. Fits bikes with riser spacing of 3-1/2" to 4". Works with most stock and aftermarket risers (will not fit Baron Kickback Risers).

    Baron recommends you check your local codes for handlebar height to be sure these bars are legal in your area.

    Note
    : Honda & Suzuki models require minor drilling.
