Adjusting Your HAnd Position
ridEr BAsics
You may think you are perfectly happy with the way
your bike is adjusted. But that doesn’t mean that
it is correctly set up for you. We get used to our
bikes — our muscles become trained and we end
up accommodating the bike. It is far better to take
the time to make the bike accommodate you.
If you are satisfied with your handlebar’s width and
wrist position, but wish it was just a little higher,
lower, or closer to you, your dealer can recommend
a set of handlebar risers that move the bar into
your comfort zone.
stock HAndLEBAr
Just about every model of Harley-Davidson ®
motorcycle comes with a different stock handlebar.
Selected to complement the style of the bike, the
handlebar may be the ideal shape for many riders,
but of course, not everyone has the same physical
characteristics.
stock HAndLEBAr witH risErs
If the stock handlebar has the correct width and
hand position for you, but seems just a little too
far away, we offer riser kits that bring the controls
within reach. Straight and curved risers are available
for many model and handlebar combinations.

Fit sHoP tiPs
Getting the fit right may be as simple as adjusting the Original Equipment
handlebar and controls. With the bike blocked in the upright position and
you in the saddle, your Dealer can loosen the handlebar clamp and rotate
the bar for a closer match to your ideal fit.
Once the grips fall naturally to hand, your Dealer can also adjust the hand
control lever position. Rotating the switches and levers to a level position
puts your wrists in a relaxed position, and reduces the strain of lifting your
fingers to reach a too-high lever.
Your Dealer can help you with this simple
experiment, and recommend a handlebar that
matches your ideal riding position. For more
information, visit h-d.com/fitshop.
*NOTE: Installation of some handlebars and risers may require a change in clutch and/or throttle cable and brake hose for some models. Handlebar height is regulated in many states. Check state or local laws before installation.
