🏍️ Choosing the Right Handlebars for Comfort and Control

🏍️ Choosing the Right Handlebars for Comfort and Control

Handlebars aren’t just about looks — they define how your bike feels, handles, and fits your body. Whether you ride a Harley Davidson, Indian, or custom build, the right bars can reduce fatigue, improve control, and give your bike the stance it deserves.

At Voodoo Cycle House, we carry handlebars for every riding style — from ape hangers to moto bars — and we’ll help you choose the perfect setup.

 

🛠️ Why Handlebars Matter

Handlebars affect your posture, wrist angle, shoulder tension, and overall comfort. The wrong bars can lead to numb hands, sore shoulders, and poor control — especially on long rides.

 

🧭 Types of Motorcycle Handlebars

🦍 Ape Hangers

Tall, dramatic, and iconic. Ape hangers give your bike a classic chopper look.

Best for:

  • Cruisers
  • Show builds
  • Riders who want a relaxed arm position

Popular sizes:

  • 12”
  • 14”
  • 16”

 

🔧 T‑Bars

Aggressive and clean. T‑bars offer solid control and a club‑style aesthetic.

Best for:

  • Performance builds
  • Club‑style Harleys
  • Riders who want tight handling

 

🏁 Moto Bars

Low, wide, and aggressive. Moto bars are built for control and speed.

Best for:

  • Indian Scout / FTR
  • Performance Harleys
  • Riders who carve corners

 

🛫 Pullback Bars

Comfort‑focused with a relaxed wrist angle.

Best for:

  • Touring bikes
  • Older riders
  • Long‑distance comfort

 

🧰 How to Choose the Right Bars

1. Measure Your Reach

Sit on your bike and measure how far your arms naturally extend. You want a slight bend in your elbows and relaxed shoulders.

2. Consider Your Riding Style

  • Long rides = comfort bars
  • City riding = control bars
  • Show builds = tall bars

3. Check Compatibility

Make sure your new bars fit your risers, cables, and controls. Voodoo Cycle House lists compatibility for every product.
