These Springer handlebars correspond to the Buckhorn type by shape, however, they differ in that they feature straight tubing on both ends in order to accept 1974-up clamp type outside cable throttle controls.
Inline vs. Offset
Classic Springer Forks are produced for different frame rakes.
- In the beginning, both the main tubes and the steering stem were in the same plane. This is called "inline". The rake is 0°. Of this type were all 45” Springer forks 1936-1957 and all Big Twin forks 1936-1945.
- From 1946 onwards the Big Twins had the neck angle increased to 30°. To maintain fork inclination and ground clearance, the steering stem was tilted to the rear by 3°. We call these forks Offset -3°, they were stock on 1946-1948 Big Twins.
- When building a bike with ≥+8” extra long forks you don’t want the steering neck so high and inclined that the bike is difficult to steer. Therefore such forks are manufactured with a positive rake, i.e. the steering stem is inclined to the front by 3°. We call these forks Offset +3°.
The sketch shows the placement of the lateral tubes and steering stem seen from the drivers place. Now it is clear, too, why there have to be three different types of top trees or handlebars for Classich Springer forks.

Hanson Roll-Up Windshields
The story goes like this: when the weather is nice you enjoy the breeze in your face and when it turns bad you wish you had some protection. So what can you do? The solution is the smart Hanson roll-up windshield, which appeared on the accessory scene in the late 1940s. With this one you can have both. In its lower position the screen tucks on the handlebars and you are "in the wind", but rolled-up it almost provides the protection of a regular windshield. Up and down positions can be established in seconds. These reproductions are accurately made after the period part and will look right at home on any American classic motorcycle.
Kustom Tech Deluxe Handlebar Controls
The lever design of these beautiful Kustom Tech Deluxe brake and clutch controls derives from the 1930’s and perfectly combines retro looks with modern technology. Brackets and master cylinder reservoirs are made of forged aluminium, with your choice of brass or aluminum levers and cover plus a satin, black or polished finish. Kustom Tech Deluxe controls fit all 1" handlebars.
