Michigan Motorcycle Handlebar Height & Required Mirrors

The Motorcycle Legal Minute™ was created by Jason Waechter, THE Motorcycle Lawyer, to explain Michigan’s motorcycle law in a short and easy to understand way.  

Motorcycle Handlebar and Mirror Requirements in Michigan

Let’s talk about a couple of Michigan laws pertaining to motorcycle equipment. First, handlebar height. Handlebars cannot be higher than 30 inches. The measurement is from the seat to the handgrip. So, you’d better measure those ape hangers!

Do you have to have mirrors on your motorcycle in Michigan?

Next, mirrors: A motorcycle must have one mirror positioned on the ‘driver’s side,’ which is on the rider’s left-hand side. A mirror on the operator’s helmet is an allowable substitute.
