Fitment Information

These are universal-style mini bike handlebars designed for applications using 7/8" handlebar clamps, risers, grips, throttles, brake levers, and controls. They are not guaranteed to bolt directly onto every mini bike.

Measure your application before ordering. Verify the handlebar diameter, riser spacing, cable length, control compatibility, and available clearance on your mini bike.

• Taller handlebars may require a longer throttle cable, brake cable, brake hose, kill-switch wiring, or other control wiring.
• Check that the handlebars clear the frame, fuel tank, seat, and other components throughout the complete steering range.
• All cables and wires must move freely without pulling, binding, pinching, or contacting hot or moving parts.
• Different risers or mounting hardware may be required depending on the application.

Recommended Items

• Mini Bike Handlebar Control Kit
• 75" Mikuni Mini Bike Throttle Cable
• 15" Ape Hanger Mini Bike Handlebars

Cable note: The recommended 75" Mikuni cable is intended for compatible Mikuni-style carburetor and throttle configurations. Measure the required cable length and verify both cable ends before ordering.

Finish Notes

• Bare-steel handlebars may arrive with minor surface rust, discoloration, tooling marks, or handling marks.
• Minor surface rust on the bare-steel option is normal and can be removed during preparation for paint or powder coat.
• Bare steel should be cleaned and finished promptly to help prevent additional corrosion.
• Mock up the bare-steel handlebars with the risers and controls before applying a permanent finish.
• Powder coating adds a small amount of thickness. Minor fitting or careful removal of coating from concealed clamp or control-mounting areas may occasionally be required.
• Small installation marks may occur in concealed clamping and control-mounting areas.

Installation and Safety

• Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with handlebar, throttle, cable, brake, or control installation.
• Use properly sized 7/8" risers and suitable mounting hardware.
• Verify that the handlebars are securely clamped and cannot rotate during operation.
• Confirm that the throttle operates smoothly and returns automatically with the handlebars centered and turned fully in both directions.
• Verify proper brake operation before riding.
• Reinspect the handlebar clamps, controls, cables, and mounting hardware after the initial ride.

Important: Fitment is the responsibility of the installer. Longer cables, different risers, additional wiring, mounting hardware, or other modifications may be required depending on the mini bike and control configuration.
