Engineered to deliver comfortable ergonomics and classic chopper style, Zed and his little brother Maynard are our take on Z-bars, a timeless chopper classic. We build every Biltwell bar with 4130 Chromoly for strength, then electroplate them in satin black or polished chrome for looks that last.
Form and Function
Early chopper builders invented the 4-piece Z-bar to give their custom machines a cool look and a narrow profile. Our Zed and Maynard bars continue this tradition, with a rugged 4130 Chromoly twist. Available in 7/8- and 1-inch sizes, Zed and his little brother Maynard are the narrowest models in our custom bar line. Their narrow width and comfortable backsweep make these bars perfect for compact stock bikes like H-D XLs and Yamaha XS650s, or on stripped-down bobbers and choppers. One-inch O.D. Zed and Maynard bars are available to smooth for aftermarket hand controls, or dimpled/slotted to fit stock H-D hand controls. NOTE: because burrs can be present inside their welded joints, please DO NOT pull hand control wiring inside this model.

Motogadget m.button
Regular price $145.00Another innovation from motogadget: the m.button.
It's a big help - in combination with the new m.unit blue, basic, and m.unit v.2 - in reducing 'cable clutter' and simplifying wiring harnesses.
Integrated into the handlebar tube - or any other adequate location - this tiny cylinder will electrically connect all handlebar instruments, switches, and buttons.
Using state-of-the-art bus technology, the m.button digitally processes signals and transmits them to the m.unit over a thin cable.
The electrical consumers will then be switched inside the m.unit.
All control wires are moved into the handlebar. This saves space, weight, labour, and time. A 'must have' for custom bikes with clean-look handlebars.
In simple facts:
a) normally, the operating current (e.g. headlight or turn signals) is transmitted directly via the wiring of the handlebar switches. Due to the high currents, cables with large cross-sections have to be routed from the fuse box to the switch and back to the electrical consumer.
The result: big cable bundles. Definitely, a 'no go' for custom bikes with restricted space or a concealed electrical system.
b) using the m.unit without the m.button, just a thin cable for each switch- or button-controlled feature has to be routed to the m.unit. These cables only carry minute control currents. All high loads and currents are switched directly at the m.unit and transmitted directly to the electrical consumers. This already leads to a significant reduction and simplification of the wiring harness. Here you can see the example of a circuit diagram.
c) using the m.unit blue, basic, or m.unit v.2 in combination with the tiny m.button, you will once again reduce the number of cables that have to be routed! All switches/buttons on the handlebar are connected at the shortest distance possible and concealed inside the handlebar. Consequently, you will have to route only ONE thin cable from the m.button to the m.unit. All loads and currents will be switched directly at the m.unit (see explanations above). A layout reduced to the max! Here you can see the example of a circuit diagram with the use of m.button
The m.button is completely moulded in, making it water-tight and resistant to vibrations.
The m.button is equipped with connections for
- turn signal, left side
- turn signal, right side
- headlight (low beam and high beam)
- E-starter
- horn
- brake light switch, front brake
m.button – dimensions
Diameter: 12 mm
Length: 25 mm
Cable length: approx. 60 cm
Connecting cable to m.unit: approx. 200 cm
Weight: approx. 30 g
Attention: The only intended use of the m.button is in combination with m.unit blue or m.unit v.2
