Khrome Werks Handlebars: Precision-Engineered for the H-D Enthusiast

When it comes to transforming the look, feel, and ergonomics of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, few upgrades are as immediately impactful as a new handlebar. Khrome Werks has spent more than 35 years building a reputation as a premier manufacturer of aftermarket accessories for Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycles, and their handlebar lineup reflects that deep institutional knowledge. These bars aren't just chrome accessories — they're precision-crafted components developed by engineers with a rich history in racing and the aftermarket space.

A Handlebar Lineup Built Around Harley-Davidson Fitment

What sets Khrome Werks handlebars apart from generic alternatives is their unwavering focus on model-specific fitment. Each bar in the lineup is engineered to drop into factory mounting positions with minimal modification. Many designs feature a stepped or tapered center section that allows installation without touching factory fairings or fairing grommets — a critical detail for touring riders on Road Glide, Street Glide, and Electra Glide platforms. The bars also accept H-D OEM heated grips right out of the box, preserving factory comfort features riders depend on.

The construction quality is equally impressive. Bars are formed from 14-gauge steel tubing, then dimpled and diamond knurled on 3.5" centers to ensure a no-slip fit with OEM and aftermarket risers. Finished in either duplex nickel chrome plating or gloss black powder coat, every bar is built to exceed OEM appearance standards. And in true American fashion, Khrome Werks handlebars are made in the U.S.A.

Styles for Every Rider and Every Platform

The Khrome Werks handlebar catalog covers a wide range of riding styles and model applications:

• 2+2 Stretch & Bagger Sweeper Bars — Engineered specifically for Harley-Davidson Touring models (1999–2023), these bars add both rise and pullback for a more relaxed bagger stance without sacrificing wiring clearance. The throttle grip end is notched and the bar is internally milled to accommodate electronic throttle control (TBW) systems.
• Fat Ape Hangers — Available in 12" and 16" rises, in both chrome and gloss black, the Fat Ape line offers the dramatic high-rise look that defines custom cruiser culture. Sized at 1-1/4" diameter, these bars make a bold visual statement on Road Glide and Road King platforms.
• Narrow Ape Hangers — For riders who want the ape hanger aesthetic with a slightly more understated silhouette, Narrow Ape bars are available in 12" and 16" rises in chrome and black.
• Buck Fifty Bars — A unique Khrome Werks design using 1-1/2" tubing at the rise that steps down to the center section, allowing fitment without modification to factory fairings or hardware.
• Custom Bend & Springer Ape Hangers — Model-specific designs for Heritage Softail, Softail Springer, and Trike applications ensure proper cable routing geometry and clean wiring runs on older and niche platforms.
