Burly Brand Narrow Ape Handlebars

The Burly Narrow Ape family gives you taller bars without the wide, show-bar sweep. They lift your hands and keep them closer to the bike — more upright posture, but not that stretched-out, arms-in-the-wind feel. This listing covers the common heights and finishes: 12" (Black / Chrome), 14" (Black / Chrome) and 16" (Black).

Intended use and fitment

Narrow Apes are chosen when you want height and a compact footprint at the grips. They suit cruisers and mid-to-large Harley-style machines where clearance and a tighter stance matter — think urban cruising, long runs that need comfort, or a cleaner silhouette than wide apes give. Check your bike’s clamp/riser diameter and riser style before buying. Bar height is measured from clamp center to grip, not guessed.

Best suited for

Riders who want upright posture without a huge width increase
Builds that need a taller bar but must keep hands closer to the tank and controls
Cruisers and baggers where neat routing and a narrower profile are priorities

These bars are about control and comfort, not showmanship.

Ride characteristics

Less shoulder reach than traditional wide apes — feels more natural for many riders
Good leverage for slow-speed turns and parking maneuvers
Upright posture eases back and wrist fatigue on longer rides
Stable feel at highway speeds — not twitchy, not too heavy
A compact, confident grip position that leaves room for luggage or tanks with lower profile

You notice the change on the first ride: hands sit higher, but you don’t feel like you’re grabbing the wind.

Available options

Narrow Ape 12" — Black
Narrow Ape 12" — Chrome
Narrow Ape 14" — Black
Narrow Ape 14" — Chrome
Narrow Ape 16" — Black

Finish is cosmetic only; fitment and geometry are the same for a given height.

Materials & build notes

These bars are made from thick-wall steel tubing for torsional stiffness and long-term durability. Finishes are either powder-coated black or plated chrome — both will stand up to normal road use when cared for. If your build sees salt or heavy exposure, chrome requires more attention to avoid pitting over years. A narrow rise keeps the bends simpler, which usually makes cable routing easier than with extreme apes.

Installation considerations

Confirm clamp diameter (1" vs 1.25") and riser compatibility before purchase.
Taller bars usually require longer clutch/brake lines and wiring extensions; plan a control kit or custom routing.
Check throttle setup — some bikes with throttle-by-wire or specific housings may need adapters or TBW-specific bars.
Proper routing avoids tight bends at full lock. Test full left/right lock before final torque.
If brake lines are replaced or stretched, bleed the system after installation.

If you’re unsure about cable routing or brake line length, have a tech check fitment — it saves time and avoids surprises.

FAQs

Are black and chrome different materials? No — the difference is finish only. Black is typically powder coat; chrome is plated. Will I need new cables or a control kit? Often yes. 12" is sometimes doable with stock lines depending on bike and risers, but 14"–16" usually need extended cables, brake hoses, and wiring extensions. Check your bike and riser setup first. What clamp size do these use? Burly offers bars for common clamp sizes; confirm the clamp diameter for your risers (1" vs 1.25") before ordering. Are these TBW (throttle-by-wire) compatible? Some bars are TBW-ready, some are not. Don’t assume verify product details or use TBW-specific parts when needed. Will these fit my custom risers or stock clamps? They will fit any riser that accepts the same clamp diameter and bar tubing. Always verify clearance for control housings and mirrors. Do I need professional installation? Not required but recommended if you’re not comfortable routing lines, adjusting cables or bleeding brakes. It’s basic work but it must be done right.
