Ornery Ape for '24-'26 Road Glide | Harley Handlebars

$585.00

The Ornery Ape Series is made for Harley riders who want the taller stance of ape hangers with a sharper KST profile. Its signature meat hook point, squared base, and slight radius through the rise give Road Glide and Road King builds an aggressive handlebar shape that still follows the natural lines of the bike. The added height helps improve leverage and control while giving riders a more open hand position, making it a strong upgrade for those who want ape hanger style with comfort built in.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

It is designed to give you a premium look on your Harley Davidson motorcycle with aggressive, custom style and superior comfort and control.

The slight radius in the rise flows well with the natural lines of the bike.

-Can be purchased pre-wired '24-'26 Fully Pre-Wired and with a 4" Clutch Extension

-10" and 12" can be installed with stock brake, clutch and electrical. 14" will require a clutch extension.

- The riser on the '24-'26 sits up about 2.5" higher compared to the previous 2015-2023 Road glide models, so keep in mind that a 10" will sit like a 12", 12" will sit like a 14", etc.

NARROW, CONTROLLED FEEL:

Designed for Harley-Davidson 2023 CVO and 2024-2026 Street Glide models.

This handlebar comes up and back toward the rider 4 extra inches compared to stock. The wrist angle is ergonomically redesigned to place your wrist in a more neutral position and help prevent rider fatigue.

Manufactured from 1.25-inch T304 ornamental-grade stainless steel and CNC mandrel bent.

Our hand-polished stainless steel finish gives the appearance of chrome with the durability of stainless steel. Our high-gloss black powder coating is produced by the same supplier used by Harley-Davidson.

Notched and slotted for internal wiring and throttle by wire. Will also fit non-throttle-by-wire models and accepts heated grips.

Specs: 33 inches wide tip to tip, 33-degree wrist angle, and +4 inches back to the rider.

Can be purchased with our 2024-2026 Pre-Wired Bundle.

2023 CVO and 2024-2026 model years: you will need to replace the upper clutch cable, but the brake and electrical will be fine at stock length.

INSTALLATION OPTIONS

CHOOSE THE SETUP THAT MATCHES YOUR BUILD AND INSTALLATION PREFERENCES.

FULLY PREWIRED

Take the internal wiring out of your handlebar installation. KST extends the electrical harness to accommodate handlebars up to 16 inches tall and routes it through the bars before shipment. Once your handlebars arrive, connect the switch controls, plug the harness into the motorcycle, and complete the remaining installation.

Best for:

Riders who want to avoid extending and routing the electrical wiring through the handlebars.

UPPER CLUTCH CABLE

Replace the factory upper clutch cable with a quick-connect cable designed for your handlebar height. It connects to the existing lower cable section, reducing installation time without requiring you to drain the transmission fluid.

Best for:

Riders installing handlebars that require additional clutch cable length or would otherwise require reshaping the stock upper cable. Requirements vary by handlebar model and rise, so review the product’s fitment notes before selecting this option.

RECOMMENDED: UPPER CLUTCH CABLE AND FULLY PRE-WIRED

Get both installation upgrades together! Your handlebars arrive with the extended electrical harness already routed internally, plus the appropriate quick-connect upper clutch cable for the selected handlebar height. It’s the best value for riders who want a smoother install, fewer headaches, and the fastest path back on the road.

Best for:

Riders who want the most complete installation package with less internal wiring and clutch cable work required. This option is especially recommended when the selected handlebar rise requires an extended clutch cable.
