Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this Renthal handlebar fit my Harley-Davidson without any adapters?
A: Yes — the Renthal V-Twin handlebar features a 1-inch diameter throughout, making it a direct replacement for compatible Harley-Davidson V-Twin handlebar clamps. No adapters are needed for bikes spec'd for 1" bars. That said, always confirm your specific model and year are compatible, especially if you own a 2023–2025 model, as Renthal notes certain newer electronic throttle configurations may not be compatible.

Q: Does this bar work with Throttle-by-Wire (TbW) setups?
A: Yes. The 851-60-BK is notched specifically for Throttle-by-Wire, making it compatible with TbW-equipped Harley-Davidson V-Twin models (excluding certain 2023–2025 variants with updated TbW systems — verify fitment for those years).

Q: Can I route my wiring internally through this handlebar?
A: Absolutely. The Renthal V-Twin handlebar is slotted for internal wiring routing, which keeps your cables neat, protected from abrasion, and out of sight — giving your build a clean, professional appearance.

Q: Is the mid-rise the right choice for me, or should I consider a different rise?
A: Renthal offers the V-Twin handlebar in Low, Mid, and High rise configurations. The mid-rise option (851-60-BK) provides a balanced riding position — more upright than the low-rise for added comfort on longer rides, while remaining less extreme than the high-rise. If you're unsure which rise suits your ergonomics best, our fitment specialists are happy to help you choose. Call 813-535-5801 or use the contact form on this page.
