Just had the thrashin riser and high bend bars installed. My bike is still in Florida and I’m in Colorado, but my buddy picked it up from the shop and he said it’s a game changer. It rides like a totally different bike. Can’t wait to ride it.

you will like them

Are your highway pegs on backwards?

 

I don’t think so. They are directional

 

Did you lose your ability to lock your forks? How about turning it to the accessory position?

 

Yea, with set up it removes the selector switch. Had to get my key fob flashed. Now it basically acts like a CVO. for the accessories Just gotta turn on the run switch

 

I was looking at the Thrashin bar and risers also. Was talking with their tech department. Said I would lose the functionality of locking the forks. I was also informed they were working on some new things that will be coming out in the months to come. I hope that’s the case because I really like that moto look.

 

Just ordered mine today, been eyeing them for quite some time. 2lanelife has a bundle deal.

 

Damn. I could’ve used the bundle deal

 

I have the same exact set up with the 6.5 pullback risers with high bend bars. They will be releasing a gauge relocation kit soon. I am definitely getting that when it comes out. Yes you do lose the fork lock. The bike handles so much better with this style bar.

 

I’ll have to check the gauge relocation kit

 

i did a big bear gauge relocation, a kraus top clamp so i could maintain a fork lock (not sure exactly why i wanted to do that, i never use the fork lock anyway), lucky daves risers, and zombie performance machete bars. the bars are 27" from tip to tip so they are really narrow. it took getting used to but i prefer it now.

 

 

If my weekend goes as planned I might stop in and take a look at these. I've got some other stuff going on so I'm not 100% I'll get down there.

 

Let the fun begin, I love these kinds of bike projects. I'm a total bike tweeker.

 

Did you complete the install or knocking it out this weekend? Let me know how it goes. Plan on getting this set up and I’m debating if I justtackle it myself or save the day of frustration and pay someone. Post up when you’re done!

 

I just ordered mine today. Went with the 6.5 pullback riser and the high bend bars.

 

Guess I have been lucky, I always forgot to pull the 50a fuse, several times, and never had any codes pop up, lol.
I will post up my experience, some tips, and tricks, of installing the Thrasin riser and bars when I get a little downtime. The dealer did quote me 7 hours of labor at $185.00 an hour, LMAO. They never installed this setup before, that was a big red flag for me, I was doing this job myself regardless, I always justified spending more money on my bike when I add up the HD labor I always save as a DIY Man.

My view over the bars. I'm 6-1" my saddelman seats are 2" setback. I'm more than happy with the view, I just lean a little forward if I really need to know what gear I'm in I have my speed setup on my info screen, bottom left. Good to go. No need to relocate gauges, honestly, never wanted to, thats why I went with the Thrashin setup. 6.5" pullback risers, tall bend bars.

 

Looks good. I love that color

 

@Phatdad Looking Real Nice, congrats!
Enjoy them.

I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on these. I like that you retain the switch. I live w/just a carport and lock it every time I walk away from her!

 

Although you retain the switch, Unfortunately you can't turn it enough to lock the forks.

 

Hell ya man, looks good! I’ll be installing mine next weekend, so I’ll check out your thread once it’s up.
I was also quoted “between 6-10 hours” I was like…nope haha

One tip for sure, Patience Grasshopper, patience. I had no help, so I had to think outside the box, just a little on some of the steps.

 

My buddy has the same set up. He loves them and they look great. Says he can see all but the very bottom of the guages. I went with something a little different only because I didn't want to totally copy his bike.

 

what did you go with?

 

Arlen Ness kickback 10" risers with built in guage relocation. Still waiting to get them installed.

 

Very nice. Post up a pic when you get them on. I was going back and forth between a few different set ups and those were one. I really like the lucky daves heavy hitters SD bar but I’ve never seen them in stock and can’t find them anywhere

 

Installed mine this past weekend too. LOVE LOVE LOVE how they feel and how much better the bike rides!

 

Glad to hear it! Im looking forward to getting mine on and feel the difference. How tall are you? Im wondering if you’re around my height to see if I may have similar feel. Looks great man

 

HELL Yes, looks bad ass, are those the Memphis shades hand gaurds? like how you flipped your mirrows.

 

@Phatdad I’ve got them on my bars as well. One side is pretty bad. I wouldn’t say it’s super noticeable but it’s definitely annoying.

WTF Man, Same crap on my bars, I would never let that kind of work leave my shop, like I said, I left several messages and plenty of e-mails to both accounts, no reply, and it's been over a week. Funny thing is, I'm sure you got the twolanelife postcard welcoming us to their family. LMAO You should do some follow-up on those bars brother,I will reach out to them again as well, they should replace them for us. I take a lot of pride with my bikes, I don't want half-ass parts on my girl. looks like welding splatter, but no welding is needed fabbing up these bars. @LineTrash how do your bars look?

 

@Phatdad @KK12 Best I can tell the two issues cause the problems you guys are seeing with the bumps in the bars. Off gassing in the curing process where solvents cook out of the metal and get trapped under the powder or issues with the powder delivery caused by improper grounding or accumulation of powder in the gun/lines. The accumulated powder then gets dislodged and shot onto the metal into clumps which then cure into what you see there.

Thanks for the information. Something went south for sure, sorry guys if I sound like a broken record here, I just don't understand why Thrasin would even ship those bars out to customers.

 

I stopped in Moonshine again today and they had a Road Glide with their bars set up. I ain’t gonna lie it was dope. Very comfortable and well put together. If I was into that type of set up I’d go that route. About the only thing I didn’t care for about it is loosing the switch’s and there was to much branding for my liking.
