Installation was actually easier than I thought. Only thing is that the clutch cable is now way too long and I will need to install shorter factory length cable to tidy things up. That said, I love these drag bars! My previous apes were just not my style, and I only tolerated them because I didn’t want to go through the trouble of installing new bars. The apes made the bike position weird for me which caused me to occasionally whiskey throttle. Also, my arms got tired quick with my arms up in the air like that. They just felt awkward on the sporty. After installing the drag bars, I excitedly took the bike out on a test ride and the difference was night and day. The sporty now handles like an actual sports bike, carving canyons like a boss. Yes the position is a bit hunched over like on a crotch rocket, but it’s not excessive or caused any physical arm or back pain. These handlebars are super comfy, responsive, look sick and are true to the spirit of the Sportster model. I was debating between this bar and another similar one here on desertcart , which were a bit cheaper and made of iron as opposed to steel, which is why I opted for this drag bar instead. I feel more confident knowing my bar won’t rust like iron often does. Which is one of the reason I went with this stainless steel drag bars. If you’re in the fence about these handlebars, and enjoy the drag bars look, want increased control of your sportster, just go for it - it really is a no brainer!

Fit perfect. Finish is durable. Brought the controls back enough to be comfortable without having your crotch smashed against the tank and a weird angle in your wrist. I was really unsure of the ability to stay comfortable on my bike until I installed these. Even a slight amount of wrist geometry and arm height made all the difference for me. The price point is amazing. Best bang for you buck period. I honestly won’t be made if they rust on half or break in a year at $29 even though I highly doubt that’s possible. ## Frequently Bought Together - Alpha Rider 1 inch Drag Style Steel Handlebars Drag Bar Dimpled for Harley Sportster 883 1200 Nightster 07-later XL - Motoparty 2"/51MM Tank Lift Riser Kit For Harley Sportster 1200 883 48 Iron XL1200X Roadster Standard XLH1200 XLH883 Motorcycle Lift Kit - Benlari Black Hand Grips 1 Inch Motorcycle Handlebar Grips Cable Throttle Compatible for Harley Davidson Sportster Touring Dyna Softail 883 1200 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/29529558-steel-handlebar-1-for-harley-sportster-nightster-cruiser-motorcycle](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/29529558-steel-handlebar-1-for-harley-sportster-nightster-cruiser-motorcycle) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-07*
