Handlebars & controls

Motorcycle handlebars and controls: prices, fit and rules

Updated 4 November 2026

A basic universal motorcycle handlebar costs about CA$26 to CA$51 in Canada, cruiser-style reduced-reach bars about CA$260 to CA$330, and large high-rise bagger bars about CA$668 to CA$754 (sellers' websites, November 2026). For a price that fits your model and diameter, describe the bike in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules and safety to check

In British Columbia, the Motor Vehicle Act Regulations say a motorcycle handlebar must not be cracked, deformed or improperly aligned, must not flex excessively, and must be mounted in the designed manner. The same check applies to a used bar, so inspect it for cracks before fitting. Ask the seller whether the bar is made for your model and whether cables or wiring must be re-routed.

Season and timing

Winter runs from December to February, with snow and cold in most of the country, so the job is best done in late winter or early spring. A November request lets you plan the change and have the bike ready before the riding season opens.

How parts are bought here

Bar diameters are given in inches (7/8 in, 1 in, 1-1/4 in) and in millimetres (22 mm, 25.4 mm, 31.8 mm), so give both to avoid a wrong fit. Prices are per bar, and controls, cables or wiring may be sold separately, so ask what the price includes.

What to write in the request

Give your motorcycle make and model, the handlebar diameter, the side for the controls, the colour, whether you want original or compatible, the part's condition if used, your delivery city and your budget. A photo of the current bar helps the seller match it.

In a request on BlaBlaPrice you describe the part in your own words, free of charge, and can add a photo. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details such as the model and diameter, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with price, condition and delivery, and your contact details stay hidden. Start at BlaBlaPrice or browse motorcycle parts.
