Built for Riders Who Feel Every Pull of the Lever
The Bikers' Choice Big Twin Chrome Handlebar Control Kit
is made for riders who care about how their bike feels, not just how it looks. If you ride a 1996–2006 Big Twin
or a 1996–2003 XL
, this kit gives you a clean, reliable handlebar control setup with an 11/16 bore master cylinder
designed for smooth, predictable braking.
This is the kind of upgrade you notice right away. The lever action feels more controlled. The braking response feels balanced. And the handlebars finally look complete instead of patched together with mismatched parts.
Why This Handlebar Control Kit Feels Different on the Road
Anyone who has ridden with worn or mismatched controls knows the feeling. Spongy brake lever. Inconsistent response. Hands getting tired in traffic. The Bikers Choice Big Twin Chrome Handlebar Control Kit solves those problems at the source.
The 11/16 bore master cylinder is sized to deliver steady hydraulic pressure. It gives you confidence when slowing down from highway speeds and better control during low-speed riding. Whether you are cruising on open roads or dealing with stop-and-go traffic, the braking feel stays consistent.
