Bombay Custom Works ’86 Handlebar - Classic ’80s-Inspired Design

A timeless handlebar inspired by the golden era of custom motorcycles.

The Bombay Custom Works ’86 Handlebar is designed for riders who appreciate the understated character of old-school custom motorcycles. Drawing inspiration from the custom builds of the mid-1980s, this handlebar combines classic styling, relaxed ergonomics and a clean, handcrafted appearance to transform the stance of your motorcycle without making it look overly modified.

With its subtle rise, classic pullback and clean lines, the ’86 Handlebar is particularly suited to motorcycles being built in a bobber, retro or old-school custom style. It adds personality to the cockpit while maintaining the simple, purposeful aesthetic that defines traditional custom motorcycles.

Made from 304 stainless steel, the handlebar offers a strong and durable construction along with excellent resistance to corrosion. The custom semi-gloss finish complements both restored classics and modern motorcycles with retro-inspired builds.

Classic ’80s-Inspired Design

The ’86 Handlebar takes inspiration from the proportions and attitude of custom motorcycles from the mid-1980s. Rather than using an exaggerated rise or aggressive riding position, its design keeps things balanced and understated.

The result is a handlebar that gives your motorcycle a more distinctive silhouette while still looking like it belongs on a classic machine.

Its subtle rise and traditional pullback help create a relaxed cockpit and contribute to the overall laid-back character of a custom build. This makes it an excellent choice for riders who want to move away from a completely stock appearance without going for an extreme handlebar setup.

Built for Custom Motorcycle Projects

Whether you're building a complete bobber from the ground up or simply refreshing the cockpit of your motorcycle, the ’86 Handlebar is designed to complement a wide range of custom styling directions.

Its clean profile works particularly well with:

• Bobber builds

• Old-school custom motorcycles

• Retro builds

• Classic Royal Enfield projects

• Minimalist motorcycle builds

• Custom motorcycles with vintage-inspired styling

The handlebar's restrained design allows other elements of the motorcycle—such as the tank, seat, mirrors and paintwork—to remain the focus while still giving the cockpit a noticeable custom character.

304 Stainless Steel Construction

At the heart of the ’86 Handlebar is 304 stainless steel, selected for its combination of strength, durability and corrosion resistance.

The material makes the handlebar well suited to long-term use while maintaining the premium feel expected from a carefully built custom component. The stainless-steel construction also complements motorcycles where exposed metal forms part of the overall design language.

Custom Semi-Gloss Finish

The semi-gloss finish gives the handlebar a refined appearance without making it overly flashy. It sits comfortably between a high-gloss and completely matte finish, making it easy to integrate with different motorcycle builds.

The finish works particularly well with classic paint schemes, blacked-out components, polished metal parts and other understated custom details.

Relaxed Ergonomics

Beyond its appearance, the ’86 Handlebar is designed around a relaxed riding position. Its subtle rise and pullback help create a more natural cockpit compared with many aggressive or race-inspired handlebars.

This makes it a suitable choice for riders who want their motorcycle to have a custom appearance while retaining a comfortable, everyday-friendly character.

Clean & Purposeful Styling

The ’86 Handlebar follows the Bombay Custom Works approach of keeping customisation functional as well as aesthetic. Instead of relying on excessive detailing, the design focuses on proportion, shape and finish.

The clean profile makes it particularly effective on stripped-down motorcycles where every component contributes to the final appearance.

Fitment

The handlebar is designed to fit most Royal Enfield models, making it a practical option for Royal Enfield-based custom projects.

Not compatible with:

• Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650

• Royal Enfield Shotgun 650

• Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

• Royal Enfield Continental GT 650

Recommended for: Custom bobbers and old-school motorcycle builds.

Fitment should always be confirmed for the specific motorcycle and existing controls before installation, particularly when changing from the stock handlebar.
