This aftermarket motorcycle component comprises handlebars that extend significantly upward, specifically designed for Harley-Davidson Sportster models. The defining characteristic is the 12-inch rise from the mounting point to the handgrip area. It typically includes the handlebars themselves, along with extended cables and wiring necessary for proper installation and safe operation.
The installation of such a kit offers a customized aesthetic, changing the motorcycle’s overall appearance and rider ergonomics. Historically, modifications like these have been favored for their unique style and the potential for a more upright riding posture, which some riders find more comfortable for long distances. However, it is important to consider that changes to handlebar height can affect handling and require careful adjustment.
