From Solo to Cholo.

A while back we did a Youtube video showing you how to install your 14" Signature handle bars on a 2015 Road Glide owned by our friend Joe Asturi. The video was a huge success for us and has helped thousands of people install there Signature bars since. You can view the video here Install your 14 inch Signature handle bar Since that video Joe has made some major upgrades on his Road Glide and was featured in Hot Bike Magazine in this awesome issue. Joe also has our popular Shield engine guard on his Road Glide. You can see more pictures of Joes bike on his Instagram @joeasturi and to view more shots of the lovely model Elizabeth Velasquez you can view her Instagram @elizabeth_velasquez you can click these links to get more information on the Signature handle bar and Shield engine guard.


Team Show Off My Harley.

Thanks to this great bike scene we live in we have had the chance to meet some great people. A while back we had the chance to connect with Team SOMH when he decided to run our 15" Evil T handle bar on his famous 2004 XL1200C Sportster. If you not familiar with SOMH make sure to follow them on Instagram @showoffmyharley they post awesome shots everyday of riders from around the world. Make sure to show your support and grab some gear from them at http://www.teamsomh.com/ (The handle bar shown in the photos was our original Evil T with the forward bend, we have now re designed the bar with no bend.) You can follow the lovely model @nykoleee on Instagram.



Signature Handle Bar 12" Chrome on a 2016 Road Glide

We under stand it can be hard to choose between the 14" or 12" rise Signature handle bar for 2015-2017 Road Glides. So here is some pictures to show how a Chrome 12" Signature looks. Notice the peak of the bar is even with the top of the fairing (not the glass like a 14"). Keep in mind you can adjust this bar because we have put a slotted hole for the riser pin. Always make sure the handle bar has our signature Factory 47 badge on the bottom right corner. The 12" Signature handle bar allows you to use all your stock cables and wires. Plus you do not need to modify anything. The bottom step down is machined out of DOM so there is no weld. The grip is double swaged with a hole for the new control pins. All Signatures have holes for internal wiring and slotted for throttle-by-wire. Most customers ask our opinion on which bar is better the 14" or the 12" and to be honest that is all based on your height and preference, but we can tell you that 90 percent of Signatures ordered are 14" and we have never received a customer complaint on that height. But we will always advise choosing a 12" over a 10" because the 10" is so close to stock it doesn't offer the same look, plus keep in mind as you pull the handle bar back toward you the grips move downward. Most customers that decide to go with the 12" want to play it safe and in this case if you choose a 12" or a 14" they booth look great.
