Stretch out in comfort and style and show off a healthy dose of street attitude, with 16” Polished Ape Hanger Handlebars. They add to the custom style of your bike and provide a comfortable reach to the grips and controls.

 

Provide your passenger with a secure, comfortable backrest in just seconds by adding a Quick Release Passenger Sissy Bar and Genuine Leather Passenger Backrest Pad (sold separately). Quick Release technology lets you install or remove the entire backrest in seconds without tools.

A Thunder Stroke® Stage 1 Exhaust delivers a rich, deep, and powerful exhaust note that truly represents the Thunder Stroke® V-Twin’s outstanding performance. For ultimate custom style, add a set of Fish Tail Exhaust Tips.
