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
It’s the kind of bar you stop thinking about once you’re riding, which is usually a good sign.
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
Same width. Same feel. Just a different relationship between you and the bike.
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
The black finish is practical. It hides wear, fingerprints, and the little marks that show up during installs and adjustments.
Fitment notes from the shop floor
These bars are listed for a wide range of Harley-Davidson Dyna, FXR, and Sportster models, including Street Bob, Low Rider, Super Glide, Iron 883, Forty-Eight, and more across multiple years.
Always confirm your riser clamp size
Cable and brake line length may vary by bike and bar height
Internal wiring depends on your control setup
Fitment is vehicle-specific, especially on older bikes or custom builds.
