Looking for Road King Handlebar Cover Emblem Options!

Introduction

I’ve been diving into some customization options for my Harley-Davidson Road King, and I keep coming across discussions about handlebar cover emblems. I’m reaching out to see if anyone here has experience or insights regarding the best options available in the market.

Why the Interest?

After long rides, I noticed my stock handlebar cover is starting to wear out, and I want something that not only replaces it but also enhances the look of my bike. An emblem is a nice touch that can really personalize the handlebars.

What I’m Looking For

  • Styles: What styles do you all recommend? I’ve seen a few chrome and black emblems, but I’m not sure which would best match the overall aesthetic of my Road King.
  • Durability: Are there any brands that are particularly known for their durability? I want something that can withstand the elements and heavy usage.
  • Installation Tips: If anyone has installed one of these before, I’d love to hear any tips or tricks that could make the process easier.

Conclusion

Thanks in advance for your help! Your experiences and recommendations will be super valuable as I look to enhance my ride. Looking forward to hearing from you all!

I’ve been looking into handlebar emblems for my Road King too! There are various styles available, like classic chrome, matte black, and even custom designs. It’s all about what matches your bike’s aesthetic.

I totally agree with you, nancy62! I think chrome offers a classic look, but I’m leaning toward a matte finish for a modern vibe. Anyone else feel the same?

Materials like aluminum and stainless steel seem to be the most durable. Just make sure they are compatible with your specific model year’s handlebar covers.

That’s a good point, george84! I’ve seen some plastic ones too, but I’m not sure how well they hold up. Has anyone tried them?

I’ve got a chrome emblem on my 2020 Road King, and it looks fantastic. There are also some emblems available that light up at night. Has anyone seen those?

Lighting up? That’s awesome! Do you know where to find those, brittanyburch? I’d love to get my hands on one.

I’ve seen some custom emblems on Etsy. They have a wide variety of designs, from skulls to logos. Just check the reviews for quality!

Etsy is a goldmine! But be careful with sizing on those custom ones. They might not fit every model perfectly.

Compatibility can really be a hassle. I ordered an emblem for my '19 Road King, and it didn’t fit. Make sure to double-check the product details before buying!

Ouch! That’s a bummer, john40! Those mistakes can be costly. Always good to verify model years!

I personally prefer the matte black finish for a more understated look. It’s sleek and goes well with almost any color scheme.

Matte black is definitely trending right now. Makes the bike look meaner! Is anyone going for bold colors?

I saw a guy with a bright red emblem. It stood out, but not in a good way! Sometimes subtlety wins the race. Just saying!

True story, iberger! There’s a fine line between eye-catching and gaudy. Anyone else have strong opinions on colors?

I love experimenting with different finishes. It’s a fun way to personalize your ride! Plus, you can always swap them out as your taste evolves.

Totally agree! These small changes can make a huge difference in the overall look of your bike! Keep it fun, everyone!

Hey everyone! I’m also looking for options on handlebar cover emblems for my Road King. What have you found that looks good?

I’ve been using the OEM emblems, they fit perfectly and look sleek! Have you thought about which design you prefer?

I would suggest checking out some aftermarket options on eBay. They often have unique designs. Make sure to read the reviews though!
