Sportster Clubman Bars Review

[@BlockheadMoto]

Damn, those things dip forward and down more than I thought! And very angled downwards. Any way to pull em back at all, or would have probs with tank clearance? I'm gonna side with the other guys on here and say... apes! Just look like they'd fit the badass wasteland vibe of the bike :)

[@DTDRIDER]

That seat looks super comfy. I like to throw my feet behind me too on the passenger pegs while cruising on the freeway.

[@Killjoy357]

I do this all the time on my long trips!

[@TimKreitzAdventures]

Well, another good thing about them is that, should you get tired of that riding position (which it sounds like you eventually will), you can just flip them over and they more or less become "regular" bars. They do look cool like that, though. :)

[@houstonmadlin5957]

Pleasant valley is awesome! Wife just took her bike out to ride it for the first time. She grew up here but we've been gone for awhile

[@speedsterjohnny7191]

The Old Knight is and will remain old school and will keep my stock bars. You're so right about cool vs. comfort. Keep smiling and the rubber side down. Duces!

[@CaptainLicorice]

I'm debating between flipped clubmen bar or drag bars with a 2 inch bend for my magna. The buckhorn style bars kill my back after about 30 minutes and I want to be further over the front end for the twisties. I'm also going from a 12.5 to a 13.5 inch rear shock so the bike is less sluggest. It's a 500lbs bike I know It will never be a sports bike but I want it to be a little more sport touring. I am In love with the v4 and the fact I can surprise sport bike riders in a straight line

[@eliofall]

hey i got bars light that. they make passenger pegs that clamp on the swing arm so you can get them farther back. then you can lay on the tank. with a tank bag or the old pillow like they did in the 60`s i did 1700 miles on my last weekend trip

[@cmmoto]

what if u put some risers?

[@KillswitchQueen]

Going to keep my eye out at the next parts swap for longer risers!

[@dreadrobster4919]

Hey! Neat to see some motovlogging in familiar territory! Your Sportster makes me miss my Magna. At least I got a video on it before I sold it. lol

[@KillswitchQueen]

For sure! Looks like you're in the Winters/Dixon area? The Magnas are sweet rides, I'd buy one if I ever had the chance!

[@dreadrobster4919]

It was awesome, even though it only had a 100 mile range with the Jardine drag pipes, high flow air filter, and jetted to match. It's impossible to keep your hand out of the throttle of those. The only reason I sold it was because I couldn't keep up with my girlfriend... on her Ninja 250... *shame* I was in Dixon, now Fairfield. Fiarfield is MUCH cheaper. lol

[@Its2loudyer2oldmotovlogs]

Those look cool on there but comfort is really a must if you like to ride and ride a lot lol Have you thought of a motocross style bar or drag bars? Just a thought with the them.. I am gonna try to do a bit of a build on my dyna but I'm still goin with at least 12 inch apes lol

[@davidstadler1020]

Curious, have you ever tried ape hangers?

[@FreeRider1959]

I had a drag bar with a 4 inch sweep on my '07 XL883L with mid controls and a Le Pera Spoiler Seat. It was pretty comfortable. Muscling the Sportster through twisties finally sent me to the sport bike dark side though.

[@KillswitchQueen]

Lol Dark side... Sometimes I wonder which side is the dark side! I still have my old drag bars so I'll try rocking those again.

[@FreeRider1959]

If they have a sweep (like mine did) you can roll them up and back before tightening them down to give a more upright position.

[@vegasbattleborn1594]

Wow, I learn so much from your vids KSQ. Never put much thought into handlebars.

[@MyJourneyAfter40]

really digging the overall look of the bike...comfort vs coolness is an age old battle...good choice of music as well!

[@Silver1080P]

Buy a dodge ram now at your local dodge, jeep, and chrysler

[@blackkoganinja5093]

I like pullback risers with straight bars for a sporty.

[@WolfiePicsOfficial]

Cool review, Question what Camera did you use?.. I have the Canon 650D (UK) looks like the same camera ..

[@TheKleb]

Fuck the bars the ammo cans are all the cool you need hah

[@rosiemoto3052]

I've been wondering how it would be to be in a sport bike position on a cruiser! I used to sit back and lean over on my scooter with passenger pegs to pretend I was on a sport bike haha. I'm really curious how the handling feels for turning...easier/harder? Especially in low speed situations like u-turns and stuff I'd love to know.

[@westerncivilization]

what is the longest ride you would go on with the clip on bars?

[@Shneablay]

Killer. What do you think about the Mustang seat compared to stock?

[@KillswitchQueen]

10/10, the most comfortable seat I've ever used. Better than Corbin. If anyone wants to invest in a new seat, go Mustang.

[@AUTOT3KHCL]

DK Customs has a decent selection of risers or riser extensions. i tried their 1.5 extension to see how I liked the rise before dropping a ton of $$$ on bars

[@alannquartermain1346]

Great review but I just installed these on my 2012 883 and I don't find this applies at all. Maybe since females don't have the same upper body strength? Maybe thats why you don't feel as comfortable as I do.

[@Azeazel.]

Please make a vid on it; also do the stock wiring and cables work with these? I’m getting a Harley oem accessory one and I’d like to know

[@priestof1]

Drag bars on mine and love them

[@meonagoodday]

try mounting them upside down?

[@kevinh4910]

Strait rise Tbars with very little pullback and narrow bars work best with Harley mid controls. On my street bob I have 13" rise 2" pull back t bars running mids and it gives perfect control of the bike in the twisties

[@michaelshenck9559]

You might like a handlebar shaped like what was on my old R100RS. It did not pull you front near as much. Your stock cables would work and they would work great with your windshield. .

[@elnz856]

Spin those bars over

[@ericmoffett7214]

I am buying a set off line for 20$ tomorrow and that’s what I am gonna do

[@user-jf2xi5hr9b]

Personally id rock some tcbros zbars or whiskey bars if you want to keep it more sporty but have something that better suits the sportster. My bike has 10 inch mini apes and i love them.

[@stratosjeff7007]

love that little skull!!...i want one! lol

[@cruiserbrewser]

I can't do lower bars. kills my back and wrists. I like the trackers. they are nice. but my favorite bars are my 8" risers with drag bars. very comfy.

[@KillswitchQueen]

I still have my drag bars, I was thinking either trackers or find some longer risers (mine are only 5") that maybe have some curve so I'd be slightly more upright.

[@cruiserbrewser]

Killswitch Queen I was thinking of putting my trackers on my 8" risers. But then I think it would look too much like the Dyna guys. Haha.

[@furnimaker]

KSQ I've got your back, let's design and make you some badass custom risers, PM me if you're interested

[@lucidafflictions1706]

Fist time seeing your vids and damn, what a nice bike.

[@ShookBone]

Try flipping those bars around. My friend had a pair on his bike it looked really cool and felt very comfortable

[@KillswitchQueen]

I would have to drill my switch housing or the bars... but maybe I'll mock it up and see how it feels! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@martinjolicoeur_777]

I just order these bars to put them upside down... I'm pretty sure it will look cooler and will be more comfortable! Show us another video with those bars upside down!!! ;)

[@alca4340]

hi what is that seat called please...thanks

[@JeremyRFults]

I just put keystone handlebars on my cruiser , It took about a week to get used to them and then I put 2" risers on em and now I love em.. new handlebars are always weird at first , I love the way those look on your sportster , but if they are uncomfortable as fk..gotta change something..

[@TBONESIDEOFLIFE]

yup, they are cool bars.i would be in pain for the first 100 miles, not young anymore. best of luck to ya and thanks for the review of those bars. love the seat, looks very comfortable. mods can be fun and at times costly to find the old "what the hell was I thinking"! had redone mine (on my channel) and it grew costly real quickly, but all worked out. love your videos dear, you ride safe and have fun!!😎 👍

[@nathanwagner7937]

I will say, it adds quite a bit of character to that sporty.

[@blakegilliam7393]

what size bike do u have??

[@RockabillyRambler]

why dont you put on a set of MY kustom bars ;) and your british accent is bloody good mate!

[@metricmind9726]

You are awesome my friend! Great videos!

[@KillswitchQueen]

No YOU'RE awesome!! Thank you!

[@Heartlanddualsport]

Fun video as always young lady, great to hear your review on the bars, I can see where it would not be so comfy, yep, Im out, . Thanks for sharing and have a blessed week.

[@MtnMoto]

Shame ya can't be sporty and cool. I wonder if grip pads on the tank would help?

[@MotoKari]

Your bike looks badass 👌 after you pointed out the trouble with positioning, you can see where the bars would be tricky to use. They do look good though. KUTGW!

[@MissR6]

Man, always gotta compromise with the cool/comfort scale. This is my dilemma every. single. time.

[@michaelyiannett1768]

Those bars look dope and your leaning your bike over more, great

[@kristajeskey]

looks amazing, but I can see how it's super uncomfortable. my husband uses the passenger pegs when he's on the highway, he says it's really comfortable.

[@KillswitchQueen]

It feels more comfortable for sure, it's too bad the cruiser is too "cruiser" for this set up lol

[@kristajeskey]

Killswitch Queen agreed. because it looks amazing.

[@Jinbrge]

Try tipping those bars up. Give you more comfort and look cool

[@bikeroftheeverywheres864]

Lovin' the accent changes ;)

[@coyote102076]

I can tell by the change in camera angle the forward lean is now quite steep. :-/ I would say, in my very humble opinion, you need to revert back to cruiser bars for a cruiser. ;-) Good vid queen.

[@willmatic84]

looks awesome but you need that comfortable ride but love what you do hun 😋👍

[@moorshound3243]

Harley for comfort!!

[@joeyy33]

I hate trying to squeeze a tiny tank between my legs too.

[@rileydean5504]

Your bike is sooo sick. im fucking into it. Subscribed ✊

[@Locust1]

Nice sporty! (Sorry I'm new) Those bars..eh..not so much.

[@joshafj]

I can definitely see how those bars would be uncomfortable on your bike. I say slap the old ones back on and hit the road! Still looks cool nonetheless!

[@TheInja]

English accent on point

[@PhatboyHD88]

Hey girlie ,, please take one piece of advice i beg you ,,, please put the belt guard back on your bike,, you can get black plastic ones to fit them theme of your bike,, but as a harley mechanic i have seen many ,,many,,many broken belts because of one tiny little pebble gets in between the belt and pulley and that is that it breaks.. and that is a pain in the ass to change ,, off comes swing arm etc... so plz just put the belt guard on and the belt will probly last forever,, but one pebble and your stuck on side of the road with a broken belt... just some friendly advice do with it as you will.. be safe !!!

[@michaelbearden3409]

Cool beans brohammy

[@somedude1590]

I guess Im not the only one who waves to cows xD

[@klouism1]

As you might guess by my Bike.....I go for comfort.

[@knerdrider]

Did you turn British at the end? 😄

[@AdamSVT]

you became Australian at the end? lol

[@KillswitchQueen]

I tried LOL!

[@Meowkolaid]

Even with so much advice of not to get them... they just look too dang good and i might just have to make the mistake and get them anyways.

[@KillswitchQueen]

Do it! Honestly if you don't like them, just flip them around, I love them now.

[@kingmaxmoto4680]

you must feel less wind on that position but still in your voice i know you gonna switch for the 1 you have or something else ah ha but true it look kool

[@hooliganmc]

Position them down and back more.

[@brucedavidson5400]

Keep trying new things, only way to know if you like it. I just put some BS on my Street Bob and shifted my weight onto my tailbone. Any ride over 1hour and I feel like I just walked off the set of prison love 4: Deep Convictions.

[@feraluniverse]

Throw the old 'grampa' bars back on and haul those to the swap meet. Trackers or motocross bars may be a better fit (motocross bars are typically a bit wider though). Need a wee bit more rise and pullback for that Sporty's comfort. and Zer0 F_ck$ Giv3n about what the other kids' think is cool. Almost 7K peeps think what you're doing is badass AND cool !!!

[@singlefatherofthree3755]

I wouldn’t sabotage my comfort for style lol

[@desmofan1864]

clubmans+mid sets... oh, no thank you. That's worse than drag bars. I rode a sportster that a coworker had, clubmans, rearsets, not sure what seat, and it wasn't a torture rack. Certainly more aggressive and could have benefited from some tank grips.

[@dippitydoinit]

I not convinced that those bars fit your riding style. You have a touring seat so mini apes or even beach bars would be a better match. P.S. Check out my channel if you'd be so kind :)

[@armchairdisaster905]

Clubmen bars are horrible !!! Get dragbars at a 4 inch rise and rearsets footpegs ( yes they make them for sportsters ).

[@JohnnyWooh]

F those bars. It's a cruiser, get comfortable bars, dude. Trying new things is cool, but it's a Harley, not worth effing up your wrists and back.

[@motovanveen]

nice tankgirl accent

[@flyinbiker2001]

Looks like it was pulled out of a dumpster .... all sort of miscellaneous parts that don't compliment each other

[@singlefatherofthree3755]

flyinbiker2001 I think that’s what she’s going for

[@flyinbiker2001]

I'd Venture to guess your correct single father

[@ericmoffett7214]

Flip the bars over

[@KillswitchQueen]

I did at the time, worked better and looked cool too

[@ericmoffett7214]

Killswitch Queen ok great because I am buying a set tomorrow and that’s what I plan on doing lol cool bike btw where you from

[@spymaine89]

i am convinced cafe racer for living room. new ugly adventure bike fr riding.

[@outdoorsnomad]

you need comfort

[@WhoGoneStopMe925]

I'm sorry to say but those look so ugly, throw some West Coast t bars on that bike.

[@ctrlnull7228]

cafe parts dont belong on a harley.. comfort first
