Hairpin – Vintage Bobber Style Handlebars for Harley-Davidson Sportster (All Years)

from $230.00

Bring back that raw, vintage style with the Hairpin handlebars—a modern engineering take on mid-century bobber aesthetics. Crafted specifically for Harley-Davidson Sportster riders, these bars merge aggressive angles with soft, flowing curves, giving your build a timeless retro vibe that turns heads on the street or at the show.

Inspired by early chopper and bobber bars, the Hairpins feature a narrow 21” stance, a commanding 13” rise, and a bold 8.5” pullback, making for a dramatic silhouette with a surprisingly comfortable riding position.

These bars are CNC-notched at the hand control pockets for easy internal wiring, and they’re powder-coated in matte black for a tough, low-glare finish. The Hairpin also supports two mounting styles to perfectly fit your Sportster:

4-bolt riser clamp (commonly found on Sportster 48 models)

3.5” bolt-down style (used on Nightsters, Iron 883s, and others)

Be sure to select your correct mounting option when adding to cart.

Note: You’ll need our in-house stainless steel extended brake line, specially made for these bars. Throttle and clutch cables remain stock—a clean upgrade without a full cable overhaul.
