In this video we will show you how to find which Thrashin Handlebar suits you best! We know choosing the right Handlebars for your Harley-Davidson can sometimes be stressful, especially now a days having to order online without ever getting to touch and feel the set up. Here at Thrashin Supply we get these questions all the time. Which is great, we love giving feedback and helping you make a confident decision in your purchase.
There is no right or wrong answer when choosing the perfect Handlebar and Riser set up, but rather what works best for you.

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 👍

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.

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.

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

@thechappie 2 жыл бұрын

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_ Жыл бұрын

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.

@michaelknight2897 7 ай бұрын

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 7 ай бұрын

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

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

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.
