The Burly Brand Dominator Raked handlebars are built for riders who want a taller, more aggressive stance without going full ape. These bars keep things clean and purposeful, with a raked design that pulls the grips into a more natural riding position compared to straight-up bars.This listing combines several Dominator Raked bar heights and finishes. Same bar design and tubing, different rise and finish options depending on how tall and how bold you want the setup.
Intended use and fitment
Dominator Raked bars are commonly used on performance cruisers, club-style builds, and baggers where riders want height without sacrificing control. The rake adds a bit of pullback, which helps on longer rides and keeps wrists from feeling stacked straight up.Typical use cases:
Club-style and performance cruiser builds
Riders stepping up from stock bars to 10–14 inches of rise
Bikes where straight apes feel too upright or awkward
Setups that prioritize leverage and control over show
Fitment is bike-specific. Bar height, clamp diameter, cable length, and riser setup all need to be confirmed before installation.
Best suited for
Riders who want taller bars without extreme ape geometry
Builds aiming for a clean, aggressive front end
Street riding where leverage and comfort both matter
These bars are about control and stance, not just height.
Ride characteristics
More relaxed wrist angle compared to straight bars
Improved leverage for heavier bikes
Upright posture without feeling overextended
Stable feel at speed, especially on longer rides

Materials and build notes
Burly builds the Dominator bars from thick-wall steel tubing to reduce flex and maintain stability, especially on taller setups. The 1.25" diameter adds stiffness and gives the front end a heavier, more planted feel compared to standard 1" bars.Matte black finishes blend well with blackout builds, while gloss black works for cleaner or more traditional looks.
Installation considerations
Taller bars usually require extended cables, brake lines, and wiring
Bar height should be measured from clamp to grip, not guessed
Riser height and pullback affect final hand position
Proper alignment is important to avoid wrist or shoulder strain
If you’re not comfortable routing cables or bleeding brakes, installation should be handled by a qualified technician.
