When Demon’s Cycle reviews handlebars for Harley Davidson
motorcycles please understand that some of the names you see may not be
familiar because they are the names of the custom handlebars you can only find
from Demons Cycle. There are several different types of bars to choose from and
most of them are similar in design but they could be used on different styles
of Harleys. For example;
· Ape Hangers: This is where things can get a
little tricky. What type of motorcycle do you have? Do you have a touring bike?
If so you will need handlebars that fit that particular bike as well as what
you are looking for. Ape hangers have a specific arch to them which allows you
to sit up straight when riding your motorcycle. They have a distinctively
different look to them than standard bars and give you a different ride. The
benefits are that they offer you an alternative way to sit which can make your
ride more comfortable, especially if you are taking a long trip. Some common
nicknames for various custom styles including ones with gussets are; El Diablo
or Frisco bars.
· T-Bars: These are the more custom or standard
ones you will see where you actually lean forward more while riding. Many
people feel more comfortable with T-bars simply because they are probably the
first bars you had on a bike when you learned to ride. Another reason people
like this design is because they feel that the T-bar gives them better control
but again that may be based on comfort. The important thing to remember is that
you stick with what you are comfortable with. You never want to put something
on your motorcycle that makes the ride feel off or gives you less control.
One of the main things to keep an eye out for when picking
custom handlebars is that you are going with the right size. That is more
important than the style. If the bars you pick are too short or too big it will
make your ride less comfortable, no matter which custom style you select.
Again the reviews you will find on must custom bars is based on opinion, how someone felt with those particular bars on their particular
bike. No two bikes are the same and that’s why you shouldn’t base your decision
and purchase solely on what someone else says. If you have the ability to get
on a bike that has T-Bars or Ape Hangers and experience what they feel like
then that is the only way you are going to have an idea of what you can expect
before you buy bars for your bike. Also it is important to remember that if you
are looking for any Harley Davidson parts to replace, that you may actually
want to try something new. Even if you stick with the same type, a different
size can give you a different and possibly more comfortable feel when you ride.
Just an idea you may want to consider when you are looking to replace your
handlebars.
