Motorcycle Handlebars & Components in NZ

What are Motorcycle Handlebars?

Motorcycle handlebars are the bars attached to the front of the motorcycle that the rider holds onto while riding. Handlebars provide a comfortable place for riders to grip the motorcycle while operating it. 

Most handlebars are made of steel or aluminium and attached to the motorcycle at the top of the forks. The handlebars themselves don't do anything but provide a convenient way to mount controls like grips, levers, and switches. The rider uses the bike's part to steer and balance the bike. Some handlebars are designed for comfort, while others are designed for performance. 

Many riders upgrade their stock handlebars to ones that better suit their riding style or needs. Handlebar choice is often a matter of personal preference, and riders should experiment with different styles to see what feels best for them. The handlebar also helps to support the weight of the rider's hands. Without it, the rider would have to hold on to the bike with their legs, which would be very tiring. Ultimately, the right handlebars can make all the difference in how comfortable and confident a rider feels on their motorcycle.

Motorcycle Handlebar Components

The handlebar consists of two parts: the grip and the tube. The grip is the part of the handlebar that the rider holds on to. It is usually rubber or foam to give the rider a good grip. The tube is the part that connects the grip to the rest of the bike. It is usually made of metal or plastic. The grips provide a comfortable place to grip the bars. In addition, the levers operate the bike's controls, and the switches activate the lights and other electrical accessories. Together, these components allow the rider to control the motorcycle while keeping their hands comfortable.

Mounting a GPS device can be challenging, as most handlebars are not designed to accommodate electronic devices. However, we do have a GPS mount with a handlebar clamp, which is the perfect solution for riders who want to add a GPS to their motorcycle. The mount attaches easily to tube-style handlebars with a diameter of 28 mm, and the surface of the high-quality aluminium clamp is polished to match the motorcycle's look.
