Gardner-Wescott Handlebar Riser Hardware: Precision Where It Counts

When it comes to securing your handlebars, the fasteners holding everything together deserve just as much attention as the bars themselves. Gardner-Wescott has built a decades-long reputation as a premier source for motorcycle fasteners, and their handlebar riser hardware line is a prime example of why builders and riders trust the brand for safety-critical connections.

Made in the USA, Gardner-Wescott riser mounting hardware is engineered specifically for Harley-Davidson motorcycles, covering a broad range of models and model years — from classic Sportsters and Dyna Super Glides to modern Touring and Softail platforms. Rather than leaving riders to sort through generic fastener bins, Gardner-Wescott has done the engineering homework: thread pitches, diameters, lengths, and grade requirements are all pre-specified so you get the right hardware for your exact application.

What Gardner-Wescott Offers in the Handlebar Riser Category

The Gardner-Wescott handlebar riser product lineup focuses on the bolt sets, bushing hardware, and mounting kits that complete a riser installation correctly. Key offerings include:

• Chrome Hex-Head Riser Bolt Sets — The classic 1/2"-13 x 2-3/4" specification that fits standard Harley-Davidson and most aftermarket risers, sold in pairs with matching lock washers and cup washers.
• Chrome Allen-Head Riser Bolt Sets — A cleaner, more custom look for builders who prefer the recessed socket-head style, available in multiple sizes for varied riser heights and clamp configurations.
• Riser Bushing and Cover Kits — Grade 8 bolt sets paired with riser bushing covers and polyurethane bushings, providing both structural integrity and a finished, chrome appearance at the riser base.

All Gardner-Wescott riser hardware is finished in polished chrome, delivering corrosion resistance alongside the visual impact that custom and OEM-replacement builds alike demand. The chrome plating is consistent across the lineup, meaning mixed sets from different kit pieces still present a cohesive look on the bike.
