Consider your HD Sportster the blank canvas and a set of aftermarket handlebars the paint. Create your masterpiece of Americana with broad brushstrokes of ape hangers or the aggressive lines of drag bars. An angular set of z-bars will customize your ride to set it apart from regular Sportsters. Sportster T-Bar handlebars combine tall risers and bars and will start you down the road to a club style Sportster. Modifications to your Sportster handlebars can be as functional as getting new risers to decrease your reach for more comfort during long rides. Just keep in mind that any modification to your handlebars may require a new set of cables and brake lines to accommodate taller bars.
