Dudes...that was educational and informative AF! For real. Thank you both! ✌🤘

[@THRASHIN]

Hell yea, thanks for watching Peter!

[@thanosetsitty1896]

I concur. I’m so glad I watched this video.

[@HeyLookItsSmith]

I remember calling y’all a few months back and walked me through what works best this takes it a step further. Y’all are doing a phenomenal job helping us the user out!

[@carlosledezma3772]

You guys are the best! I was looking for new handle bars now I can get it right the first time!

[@John.Kramer]

About to buy some risers and bars for my 2022 Low Rider S. This helps tremendously. Gives me that peace of mind in knowing that I purchased the correct bar.

[@alexanderdinkel4513]

Great job guys! So simple ,thanks!

[@mikeymcguire6996]

Love the, how to videos, vlogs, apparel and company. Keep it up!

[@tapout123ism]

Awesome info and learning something new thanks guy's stay safe out there and love the videos

[@RoadtoNowhere73]

I went with mid bend bar and 9.5 pull backs from TSC on my ‘21 RG setup. Fits me perfect. I’m 5’10 I stopped by Thrashin for a test fit before I purchased to be sure. They spent 30 min with me and provided excellent customer service 👍

[@johnbotts3040]

Fantastic explanation! Thank you so much for this info!

[@THRASHIN]

Hell yea, thanks for watching!!!

[@aaronduthoit1278]

Great video dudes. Now we just need to get all the other companies to use degrees instead of inches for sweep because the comparison between each bar/brand is what most people look for. Love what you guys are doing🤘🏼

[@BrewTownBiker]

Cool tip, will try on the next bar set up👍

[@elconquistador9921]

Great video!... I have the 22° low bend on my road glide, great bar!

[@statelybrockington2479]

Thank God for you guys! I'm about to buy handle bars and I want to get it right the first time around! You guys rock!🤙🏿

[@THRASHIN]

Perfect timing!

[@DeafStunts]

Thank you for wonderful information and that is so useful. I didn’t know that. ✌🏽⚡️😀🔥

[@Mordorer]

Thanks for this I just ride what feels good! Thanks for teaching us that there is some science to this. Maybe there’s different bars that would be way more comfortable. Back to the drawing board. Keep up the great work guys! ✌🏾on the floor.

Excellent video guys! Simplified, straight forward & nice presentation and explanation. Tom M., So. Cal. '21RGS (currently researching handlebars to upgrade from the stock RG bars) Thanks!

Hell yea, thanks for watching!!

[@titosantos7570]

Excellent video.

[@TheEnergizedcinema]

I love how this video feels like a rehearsed school presentation 😁 A+ info though! Really helped a lot

[@brapsquatch]

Loves these vids. Good stuff.

[@THRASHIN]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@eancarroll1854]

Awesome video this seriously helped me as someone looking at your guys handlebars however I didn’t feel like risers were even talked about lol

[@THRASHIN]

That’s next. 🤘🏻

[@Eds_PanAm]

damn...that was informative as hell....well, I have the 9.5in risers, still using stock bars...I'm gonna have to try this.....🤘

[@yurismono]

Funny thing I did the same thing before finally buying the low bend bar lol. Great video as always!

[@THRASHIN]

that's perfect, it works!

[@jtbasic]

The detail and explanation for everything was great. Idk shit about handle bars and im looking for something probably 2 inches taller with a little more pull back. Can you guys do a detailed video on selecting risers and the bars? I have a victory hammer and theres not a lot of videos and idk what tranlates from harley to victory

[@TheBlazerSociety]

Such a good video

[@jasonc9454]

Awesome video

[@webbsteroni]

Good stuff!

[@ozzynmyrtle]

I was today years old when i learned this.... thanx

[@fxdl-kojak1157]

I just picked up 9.5” pull back with mid bend bars for me 2000 fxdl

[@SooHighFashion]

Amazing video guys, I personally have the mid bend bars along with 8inch bung king risers, with 2 inches of pullback, I'm a shorter guy at 5'6". I really wish you guys made some 8 inch pullback risers because the 9.5 with the mid bend bars might of been too tall for my short ass arms lol plus I didn't know if 1.5" would be enough pullback for my height. First time I was picking out bar/riser combos and most videos online don't help because everyone is taller than me lmao.

[@izywired]

You think an 1 1/2 taller will make a big difference?

[@weldermike7017]

Cool man look at that!

[@hizacaine]

That's pretty cool. Now please show us the equation to use when the bars are raked back to match the forks.

[@v2cz]

perfect video, thanks! btw any recommendations, what risers to choose..?

[@hollywood93c87]

Thanks 🤟

[@THRASHIN]

Any time!

[@ocglide2566]

Good info, in my experience finding the right bars is the most difficult upgrade on any bike since it can vary so much per individual. I have spent some time replacing bars only to find I hated them when I finished the install. Do you have mock up's in Canoga Park people can try one for size? Maybe even Lance or Gaylen's bikes if there around :-). I am down in OC.

[@cacointhehole]

Only math I need in life!

[@FRWD_FXLRST]

Can you make another with further detail for us noobs? How does the riser height and handle bar height all come into play? Basically you want your arms straight out to be most comfortable?

[@JeremyConnors]

Take us back to school, boys! Contrats on getting Jaun on the team, BTW -- hell of an asset there! (Hi Juan.) 😉

[@rb5379]

Awesome work fellas! Do your bars taper from 1 1/8” to 1”?

[@TheBlazerSociety]

Any more of these?

[@TheAWest348]

I need to know what the riser height and bar choice add up to in ape hanger size. 12”, 14” etc.

[@shaundority7343]

Thanks for the info. Do u sell bars n raisers for metric bikes?

[@efreund1]

Where the fu*k was Juan last year when I bought mine?!?! Just playin’, great idea!!!!!

[@THRASHIN]

haha! After years of phone calls, it made sense to help with a video!

[@michaelknight2897]

I am in this boat. Its either Thrashin mid or aggressive. I will do the measurements and make a decision. Its all about the SWEEP. My 2010 fat bob stock bars are horrendous.

[@THRASHIN]

Haha!!! Aggressive bars are VERY straight. Just a heads up. Mid bend is our best seller.

[@812MURPH]

Are you all going to do a video on risers or have you ? We don’t have a lot of people with tbar experience in my area haha

[@thechappie]

I must add, width will change your degrees based on the angle of you elbows. Though this is a GREAT first step I’d encourage marking the width of your hand placement.

[@srfsno_]

I also marked off two points on my tape. One for 30.5in bars and one for 34.5in bars and noticed that if I keep my elbows in the same place (slight bend in my elbows) and draw my hands in to 30.5 from 34.5 my sweep angle decreases. This was important for me to know, since too much sweep hurts the outside part of my wrist. I currently run a wider bar that has 24 degree of sweep and it works fine, but I believe it is going to magnify my wrist issue as I go to a shorter bar. I'm no engineer, but I think it was good to find this out as I am looking at the Thrashin "aggressive mid bend" at 5 degree of sweep which should work great. I'm fortunate in that I have another dirt bike with 31.5in protaper (factory suzuki/ktm bend) contour bars with very little sweep and it works fine.

[@packman360]

What is the bars set up on the red bike at the end? Is that the Harley fairing?

[@hybridEP3]

I ordered 6.5” pull back risers with aggressive mid bend bars. 🤓

[@rideforsobriety]

How do you like that setup? I started with the 6.5” pull-back risers and high bend bar, and I really liked it. I went down earlier this year and figured I could go taller. So, I went with the 8” straight riser and high bend bar, but it feels just a bit too tall.

[@hybridEP3]

@@rideforsobriety I sold that bike, I have an fxr now. But it has 8” dmr pullbacks and biltwell midbend

[@rideforsobriety]

@@hybridEP3 Did you have a chance to ride that bike with the 6.5” pull-back risers and aggressive mid-bend bar?

[@bmwdan3445]

Ok, now whats the best way to determine the correct pullback riser?? I currently have a 1” pullback but my elbows are almost locked, I feel I need at least a 2” pullback? Dom you have any simple way of figuring this out?\ thank you

[@mattflores6453]

What’s the best set up for a 5,7 guy?

[@Jaynwhite_escape]

Holy shit, that is awesome. Looks like I am going with you guys' product. Any military discount? 😁

[@elitewaver2835]

I need help bad , I got a stock Harley fat bob 2016 I just want some high bend bars what can I get with out having to buy 1000 extra things for the set up

[@gghostrrider]

Did Juan have any bend in his elbows when he measured?

[@mattfxlrs7643]

Can u do a video on risers, best way to pick

[@THRASHIN]

We definitely will. Thanks

[@Fro_Low]

What about the Pull-back?

[@oldsaltydawg1075]

Sure wish I would have known about you guys in 2020. Before I went with Apes on my RG. Awesome products.

[@adamroodog1718]

mid controls please

[@johnwaters3772]

Distant between blue tape and your chest is what? Reach would also be important yes or not?

[@mlocic4118]

Hey, what’s the purpose of the 5 degree sweep on the aggressive bars? Are there people that will fit that bend better or is it more for looks? Thanks!

[@THRASHIN]

Mostly guys who stunt their bikes.

[@mlocic4118]

Ah, so not me lol, thanks much!

[@heybruh3274]

Two lines and won't remember who is who? LOL. Good information though! I get the engineering!

[@steveechaa3744]

Does it affect your wheelies? Is there a certain combo that’s better for wheelies?

Wheelie what is comfortable for you. 👍🏻 tire and seat time play more of a roll
