Burly Brand Gorilla Ape Handlebars

When you want presence up front without losing control, Burly Brand Gorilla Ape bars are the easy answer. These aren’t skinny show bars — they’re a beefy, chrome-finished set designed to give riders a commanding stance with throttle-by-wire (TBW) compatibility right out of the box.

Intended use and fitment

Gorilla Ape bars are for cruiser riders who want:

Taller reach than stock bars
A forward, commanding posture without extreme apes
Clean wire-to-wire routing with throttle-by-wire compatibility
A build that looks purposeful rather than pretentious

Common bikes that suit these bars include mid- to large-displacement cruisers where compatible risers and enough cable length are already part of the platform (e.g., many Harley-derived bikes). Always match the bar’s rise and sweep to your bike’s geometry and clamp size.

Best suited for

Riders who want extra leverage and relaxed long-ride posture
Cruiser builds with a bit of attitude up front
Street and highway riders who want a solid, confidence-inspiring bar feel
Bikes with throttle-by-wire systems that need plug-and-play compatibility

These bars aren’t just about height — they’re about control and comfort too.

Ride characteristics

Upright, open posture that reduces wrist strain
Better leverage for steering heavier bikes
Stable feel at highway speed
Smooth, natural pullback for cruising and relaxed riding

Whether you’re tapping through corners or stretching your arms on a long highway run, the Gorilla Ape stance puts your hands where many riders prefer to be.

Available Gorilla Ape options

14″ Gorilla Ape — TBW — Chrome
16″ Gorilla Ape — TBW — Chrome

Both finishes are chrome. Height difference is the key choice: 14″ gives a noticeable uplift from stock without feeling extreme; 16″ pushes the stance further — great for taller riders or those after a more dramatic look.

Materials and build notes

These bars are built from sturdy steel tubing and finished in chrome for corrosion resistance and classic cruiser styling. The diameter and wall thickness are sized for a confident feel — less flex, better feedback — even with larger front ends or loaded bags. Being TBW-ready means they work cleanly with modern throttle-by-wire systems without awkward adapters. Chrome gives a timeless look that fits many cruiser aesthetics, whether you’re going for classic, custom, or show ride.

Installation considerations

Designed for TBW (throttle-by-wire) systems — no throttle housings to modify
Taller bars usually require extended cables, brake lines, and wiring
Check cable and hose routing before final torque
Proper brake line length and routing should be confirmed
Professional installation is recommended if you’re not comfortable with cable/braiding work

Correct fitment and routing are key to avoiding tight bends or binding at full lock.

FAQs

Are these bars throttle-by-wire compatible? Yes. Both listed heights are TBW-ready, meaning they’re designed to work with modern electronic throttles without modification. What’s the difference between 14″ and 16″? The height — 14″ gives a raised, confident perch while staying manageable; 16″ is taller, offering a more dramatic and stretched posture. Do I need a control kit with these? Usually, yes. Taller bars almost always require longer throttle, brake, and clutch lines as well as wiring extensions. Check specific control kits matched to the height you pick. Is the finish chrome only? Yes. Both options here come in chrome. Will these fit any bike? No. You must confirm clamp size, riser compatibility, and that your bike has throttle-by-wire before buying.

Big apes done right. These are straight, quality steel, and the finish is excellent. My bike looks wild in a good way.
