Burly Brand The Jim Bar – Black
The Jim Bar is Burly Brand’s answer to riders who want less bar in front of them, not more. It’s narrow on purpose. At 26 inches wide, it’s the skinniest handlebar Burly makes, and you feel that the first time you roll between cars or thread through a tight line of traffic.These bars aren’t about looks or trends. They’re about control, clearance, and keeping your hands where they should be when space gets tight.How The Jim feels once it’s on the bike
This is a clamp-mount bar with a very straightforward bend. No exaggerated sweep. No pullback that forces your wrists into an angle you’ll regret later.- The narrow width makes the bike feel smaller in traffic
- Steering feels quick without being twitchy
- The pullback is mild, so your wrists stay neutral
- Lane splitting actually feels intentional instead of sketchy
9-inch vs 11-inch — the real difference
The choice between the two comes down to posture more than anything else.9-inch Jim Bar
- Keeps you slightly forward
- Feels more compact and controlled
- Works well if you prefer a lower, more aggressive stance
11-inch Jim Bar
- Brings your hands up and back a bit
- Easier on the back and shoulders over longer rides
- Still narrow enough to keep the lane-splitting advantage
Construction and details that matter
Burly didn’t overthink this bar, and that’s part of why it works.- 1-inch steel tubing
- Mandrel bent for consistent shape
- Welded cleanly at the clamp area
- Slotted for internal wiring, where applicable
- Crowned for throttle-by-wire setups

Classic drag bar look in flat black fits my tracker build perfectly and rides way more comfortably than it looks.

Exactly what my chopper needed. Welding is clean, powder coat is thick, and the fit was perfect.
