Motorcycle handlebars and controls: sizes, prices and rules

Updated 4 November 2026

Motorcycle handlebars cost about A$38 to A$350, and cruiser control kits about A$450 to A$615, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. The quickest way to current prices for your bike is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Local rules and what to check

Under the Australian Consumer Law, a bar or control sold by a business comes with guarantees that cannot be excluded, so a major failure gets a repair, replacement or refund. One bar maker offers a 7-year warranty that applies only while the bar is used in Australia, so check the warranty area before you buy. If you race, the national motorcycle sport rules cover handlebars, handlebar-mounted levers, master cylinders and controls, so check the rule before you fit a part. Product safety is also governed by the Australian Consumer Law and state fair trading law.

Season and riding

November is late spring here. Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so a new bar or control kit fitted in spring is ready for the warmer months. Check the cable and lever lengths for your bike before the summer rides, because the controls are part of how the bike is set up for you.

How parts are bought here

Bars are sold by diameter, usually 7/8 inch (22 mm) for off-road or 1-1/4 inch for cruisers, so measure the clamp before you order. Ask whether the price includes the levers, switches and cables. Prices are in Australian dollars. Ask whether delivery to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide is included, and compare the delivered price for each seller.

What to put in your request

Name the part, the motorcycle model, the handlebar diameter and the side (left, right or both), plus the colour you want. Say whether it must be original or compatible, the condition you accept, your city and your budget.
