1 1/4" Gorilla Ape Handlebars / '25-'26 M8 Softail

Classic ape hanger height with modern geometry, cut specifically for the '25-'26 Harley-Davidson M8 Softail and drilled for internal wiring.

An ape bar earns its keep on the highway and loses it in traffic if the geometry is wrong. Burly runs 9-3/4 inches of pullback here, which brings the grips back toward the rider instead of leaving the arms stretched out at the top of the rise. The gauges and factory display stay visible, which is not true of every bar at this height. The 1-1/4 inch tube steps to 1 inch at the controls, and unlike a lot of ape bars these accept heated grips.
