Custom handlebars on my Monster

This is the prototype of the Ultra Wicked Handlebars. I built them for my own chopper.

At the time I engineered these 3-point bars I had another pair of custom handlebars mounted on my ride.

I had them for years and since I was re-designing some parts of my chopper (fenders, back tire system, turbo compression, etc.) I thought it was time to give the front-end a brand-new look.

As in all my custom handlebars, I used 1-1/2" DOM tubing and TIG-welded all the segments. I calculated the pull-back to allow me to sit with my back slightly arched. I had to pay special attention to the ease with which I would grab the controls: my chopper outputs about 200 horsepower at the back tire, and when the turbo kicks in... that's not a ride for kids.

As you can see, the bars are powder coated, and nicely molded. The risers are integrated. It was a prototype, I didn't engineer these bars to route the wiring internally. The controls are after-market H-D fittings: I mounted them right in, no modifications needed.

Harley Handlebars from Hell: the Ultra Wicked Bars

I designed the Ultra Wicked Handlebars with a hellish trident design to set your horse apart from the herd.

There ain't no way in a million years you and your buddies will find these bars on any other rides. If you do, this is a cheap Chinese copy.

The Ultra Wicked Bars are pre-drilled for external wiring, and ready for internal wiring. Internal wiring gives your front-end a sleeker look: the usual clusterf### of wires is routed through the bars (switch housing, kill switch, start & run switch, turn signals, brake switch, high-low beam).

Just like my other bars, the Ultra Wicked Handlebars are made from top quality 1 1/2” DOM steel tubing. I profoundly dislike the flimsy steel of stock Harley-Davidson handlebars. Even well-known after-market part makers use 1" and 1-1/4" steel: I find their bars lack the strong look-and-feel custom handlebars should have.

In their standard version, the Ultra Wicked Bars measure 32” end-to-end, with a 6” rise. The risers can be made longer or shorter, tailored to your riding style to get you maximum comfort.

I make them available in a wide variety of custom colors to match your bike. You can also order yours chromed, powder coated, or in raw steel.

My Ultra Wicked Handlebars fit all V-Twin models, and I also make them for metric cruisers.
