Drag Specialties Handlebars: Style, Fit, and Function for V-Twin Riders

Few aftermarket brands have shaped the look of the American V-twin motorcycle the way Drag Specialties has, and nowhere is that influence more visible than in their extensive lineup of handlebars. With over 167 SKUs spanning nearly every bend style, diameter, rise, and finish imaginable, Drag Specialties gives riders the tools to transform a stock motorcycle into a genuine expression of personal style — without sacrificing fit or reliability.

A Bar for Every Riding Style

Drag Specialties has built a reputation for covering the full spectrum of handlebar configurations favored by cruiser and touring riders. Their catalog includes some of the most recognized names in the V-twin world:

• Ape Hangers — Available in 10", 12", 14", 16", and 18" rise heights in both chrome and gloss black, and sized for current Harley-Davidson Touring models and Trikes through 2025.
• Buffalo Bars — The 1-1/4" diameter Buffalo handlebar is designed for maximum comfort and features dimpling and drilling for internal wires, working with standard controls. Standard bars include 3-1/2" on-center knurling to prevent movement, and optional 1-1/4" thick Buffalo risers are available to complete the look.
• Big Buffalo T-Bars — The Big Buffalo line steps up to a 1-1/2" diameter and is offered in T-Bar configurations from 7" up to 16" rise, in chrome and gloss black finishes, and is compatible with Harley-Davidson models both with and without electronic throttle.
• Beach Bars — Beach Bars are offered in both 1" and 1-1/4" Buffalo diameters, with chrome finish options engineered for Road King and Road Glide fitments.
• Flat Track & Superbar Styles — For riders chasing a more stripped-down aesthetic, Drag Specialties also offers Dragster Extra Wide, Superbar, and Flat Track handlebar designs in chrome, gloss black, and flat black, usable with or without throttle-by-wire.
• Buckhorn and Low-Rise Bars — Buckhorn designs in 1" diameter are available in 9" and 6-3/4" heights, alongside low-rise 1-1/4" options at roughly 4-3/4" center height, giving touring riders a comfortable upright stance.

TBW Compatibility and Thoughtful Engineering

Modern Harley-Davidson riders running Throttle-By-Wire systems don't have to compromise. Drag Specialties offers handlebar plugs specifically designed to plug the electronic throttle control notches on TBW handlebars, allowing TBW bars to be used on non-TBW bikes and equalizing the right and left side of the handlebars — and these plugs are made in the U.S.A. Many bars in the lineup are explicitly listed as compatible with or without TBW, making it easier to swap styles across different model years without hunting for extra adapters.

Finish Options and Material Quality

Crafted from premium steel, Drag Specialties handlebars deliver rugged durability and a precise fit for Harley-Davidson applications. They are available in chrome, gloss black, and flat/matte black finishes, and come in a range of heights and widths to dial in the ideal riding position. Whether you prefer the mirror-bright look of polished chrome or the understated menace of flat black, Drag Specialties has a finish to match your build.

Broad Model Coverage

The Drag Specialties handlebar catalog covers a remarkably wide range of fitments. Coverage spans Harley-Davidson platforms including Dyna, Electra Glide, Fat Boy, Heritage Softail, Road Glide, Road King, Softail, Sportster, Street Glide, Touring, Tri Glide, and V-Rod models, ensuring that riders across decades of Harley production can find a bar that drops straight in with minimal modification. Fitments for modern 2015–2025 Touring and Trike models are also well-represented in the current lineup.
