Handlebars
- Harley-Davidson has a downloadable PDF catalog of various handlebar options, recently updated in 2020 - https://serviceinfo.harley-davidson.com/sip/service/document/original/1420463678980971765/2020_sep_24_hbars.pdf
- For those who are shopping around for different types of bars (with their measurements), this section will show an approximate view from the seat and the side of how the different bars look while installed. Looks can be deceiving however with different models, color backgrounds and perceptions.

Riser Mods
Spacers
Done on a 2005 1200R Using 3/4” sockets: a 1/2“x13 nut (3/4” hex) was epoxied in each socket. The threads were then drilled out to 1/2“. 6) |

Offset Riser Blocks
Start with some square stock aluminum, drill holes for the bars (7/8” / 1“ etc.) and mark center on the outside edge to cut a pinch slot. 8) | ||
The pinch slot can be cut with a hacksaw. Drill the hole for the pinch bolt, countersink that for a cap head bolt. Drill and countersink the second hole for the mounting bolt to the upper tree. 9) |
