12" Meathook Ape Handlebar For Harley Touring Street Glide & Electra Glide 1986+

12" Meathook Ape Handlebar for Harley Touring Street Glide & Electra Glide

This 12 inch Meathook Ape Handlebar is a direct-fit replacement bar designed to raise hand position and sharpen steering feel on Harley Touring models, and it swaps onto Street Glide and Electra Glide bikes from 1986 and newer.

Overview

The 12 inch Meathook Ape Handlebar gives Harley Touring riders a taller, more commanding grip position without stepping up to a full-height ape hanger. Built as a bolt-on replacement for Street Glide and Electra Glide machines from 1986 and up, this Meathook Ape Handlebar pairs a swept-back meathook bend with 12 inches of rise for relaxed reach and better leverage. It suits riders who want a cleaner cockpit and more control on long highway runs.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will I need longer cables or brake lines to install this bar? A: A 12 inch rise often requires longer throttle, clutch, and brake lines depending on your model and existing setup. Measure before ordering or plan to source extended cables.

Q: Does this bar work with my factory hand controls and grips? A: It is built to accept standard Harley Touring controls and grips on compatible models. Test-fit the switch housings and grips before final tightening.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
