I installed the Thrashin top tree with 9.5" risers and mid bend bars with the gauge relocation and love them. I came from 12" Dominator meat hook bars and wished that I had gone this route before. Im on a 21 RGS. Looks good and feels great. I barely noticed any difference in vibrations in the bar but definitely feels much more grounded. A must buy in my opinion.
Went from 16" carlini gangster apes on my road king to a 12" t bar. Every aspect of riding has been drastically increased, from cornering, control, and even longer hauls. You're gonna love 'em! Ride safe and keep the videos coming.
Nice! I appreciate you watching. I can’t wait to hit the road next month. 🤙🏻
I went straight to Thrashin triple tree, 9.5 inch pull back risers and mid T bars. Moved the gauges up too. Took me a long weekend to put it together and watched Lance and Juan vids over and over again to install it all. I am very satisfied with change. Next serious mod was the Ohlins suspension front and rear. Please consider this one if you haven’t. Best mod for the bike to be honest.
Hey sweetie, what a great video. I look forward to hearing how the long distance goes. Good to see your mug again, it’s been a minute. Social has taken a back seat to a bunch of stuff going on, but when I do get on here it’s great to see such quality work.
Take care have fun and as always Enjoy the Ride

Hey Bells. Thanks for watching. Hope all is well with you. I too am looking forward to seeing how this does on a long trip. I leave the first week of July. Be safe. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
I switched from 14 inch Factory 47s to the same set up you have except I went with the 9 1/2 inch pullback. After about 3,000 miles, I know it was the best move ever for my RG. You're going to enjoy them with more miles, more smiles.
It’s crazy how much it changes the bike. Took a few days to get 100% comfortable with them, but now I love this setup. How was it when you switched for the first few days? Thanks for watching. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
It took a few hundred miles for me to really get used to them. Now it reminds me of my old gsxr days. I love the setup! Great videos, keep them coming!
What size are you Leo? I am hesitating between 6,5 and 9,5 with the high bend bars
@@raphaelmimoun9571 I’m 5’9 and it feels perfect.
@@IronLionKing thank you 🙏
Thrashin makes really good stuff. Love it.
Yeah man, I totally agree. I love this setup. 🤙🏻
Question, why isn't the connector going into the instrument cluster better insulated. Maybe some heat shrink to keep out the rain?? Other than that, awesome setup. Stay safe.
Awesome transition! I’m considering switching out my bars and love this! Thank you!
I switched too. My apes were only 12" and the T bars sit about the same for me. I don't really notice much difference. I like the way the T bars look better but handling and comfort are about the same to me
Just finished mine tonight. Triple trees, 6" straight risers, low bend bars and gauge relocation on 2020 RGS from stock bars. Too low, may try mid bend bars since i doubt they will exhange the risers.
Another good video thanks for giving us these new videos on how to keep spending money Lol🤑. I really like seeing this kinda of things to actually see how these upgrades help. Always look forward to what you do next Have a great weekend and Stay Safe out there
Thanks Cathy. Yup, I know the feeling. Every single time I think I’m done upgrading the bike, something pops up that I “have to” get. Lol. Thanks for watching. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Super interesting to hear your first impressions, especially as someone looking at changing my bars from standard. I’m the same height as you too, so hearing your thoughts are insightful for sure. Thanks Ryan!
They look great mate. Looking forward to see how you go on your first big trip 😎👌
Thanks brother. 🤙🏻
i love the feeling and handling of the t bars. theyre so much better.
btw im happy i found the channel! I'll be watching the vids. Thanks for sharing with all of us!
long term on trips....how do you like them after having them on for a while in reference to long trips. Prefer the apes for the long highway runs, and the T bar set up for the twisties im assuming? Im looking at purchasing my first Road Glide, which is a special. Ive been riding a VTX1800 for 20 years. Great bike, but I drag pegs pretty easy in the curves. Not sure if you have sat on one, but handlebar position is low, so probably similar to the t bars on that. Not sure if the lean angle on a special is better than the vtx. But with all that said...i love the twisties, and ride somewhat aggressive thru them (For a big bike, its relative right....LOL?). I want a comfortable bike for long mileage rides, so thats priority 1, and the Road glide im looking at has the KST Pironeer bars (12 inch I think). HOping they will work for now. Look forward to whatever info you can provide..thanks!
I’ve been thinking about switching over the the triple tree, my buddy is doing it next week and I’ll definitely wait to hear how you get on with them, thanks for a a great educational video on this subject 👊🏻
Thank you. I will tell you, now that I’ve had it on for a week, I absolutely love it!!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hi Full Throttle Hog, great video, at the Handlebar swapping stage of my Road Glide, still researching all manufacturers of bars, this definitely helps, I am 5’7 , so excited & nervous in this process. I did inherit really long arms from my Papa, so not all that bad being vertically challenged, speed safe & look forward to your next video, Mahalo, Kenneth
Thanks for watching Kenneth. Good luck with the search. It’s a big move, so take your time. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Yeah, the mirrors .... I noticed that too. The outside edge of the mirrors should extend about 1 inch past the end of the bar grips.
I have found the perfect solution. Video to be out next week.
Thank You! Very Informative! Be Safe Bro!
2:40 - This is SOOOOO TRUE!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
9:50 - What is the width of the new handlebars setup?
10:00 - I want to hear your feedback/review on the long-distance regarding hands numbness versus bar vibration.
Brilliant video Ryan!!! Let's see your solution for the mirrors!!!
Have you gotten used to the vibration yet? I've heard guys saying their hands go numb after 200 miles with some t-bars. Not sure I want to switch from my Factory 47s
New video coming soon on a 8k mile review. Short answer, I love the setup. The vibration wasn’t as taxing as I thought. No numbness for me. 🤙🏻
What set up did you do ? Riser 6'' or 91/2'' , Bars mid bend or high ? . Looking to do my road glide . Thanks
Damn it! Why didn’t I keep my roadglide? I had a 131 and ohlins. It was so much fun.
That’s a sweet setup.
@@FullThrottleHOG I have a stock low rider s now.
I’ll build it up. It’ll be fun too.
I have to set up now and although it wasn’t Evan evident until I took a long ride, the vibration is enough to numb your hands. A day later my hands are still tingling. Have you experienced this?
Do you find the gauges obstruct the infotainment screen?
Not at all. Well, maybe a small sliver where the HD symbol is, but nothing to take away from info. I posted a pick on IG on what it looks like from my view. 🤙🏻
I also have a media mod for my hero 8 black what’s your audio set up like
What do you think of kraus
Bushings are important. Even with stock set up the difference is noticeable. Tbars are more performance driven over apes always
How are you using google maps on your hd
Try moving your mirrors from the top of the bars to the bottom of the bars. You will find you will not have your shoulders in the way any more and a clear vision behind you.
Otay lakes rd!
Yes sir. 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Eh, to each their own. But, I personally don't care for the look of t bars. I have 6 in apache and I really like them, It's made riding for me a lot more enjoyable.
Ultimately, that’s what matters. Whatever makes riding more enjoyable for you is the key ingredient to any upgrade. Ride safe. 🤙🏻
I myself am not mech (or tech) inclined either! I fall under the category of "idiot with a wrench"!
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
They are essentially moto bars.
nope not for me, more vibration and too far in and low covers part of the radio too
I know I’m in the minority here but I personally think bars/mx bars are very overrated. They became very trendy especially after a certain show. Everyone wanted to have a “club style” bike with t bars. That’s awesome if you like the look but any perceived difference is more from the height, width, pull back and mostly from the solid bushings. If you take another set of bars of similar height, width, pull back and have solid bushings they will feel the same.
I’m not bashing t bars and before all the hate starts I will give my disclaimer. I have ridden with t bars, I have been on road bikes for almost 30 years (dirt bikes for another 10 years). I’ve had many sport bikes and done many track days.
For all the people that may become emotional about this comment, again I am not bashing t bars. They can be a terrific set up. 🤘🏻✌🏻🤙🏻
I like being me and I don’t follow what other people do if I want T bars I’ll buy them if I don’t I won’t I notice all you tubers are switching to the T bar set up it’s the new crave . I remember when app hangers were the rage and every Tom dick and Harry were sporting apps.
Cool. Thanks for watching.
How tall r u
6'3"
And 6”5 pull back is good with 1 inch riser and 4 inch bar?
For me it is comfortable. If I had to do it again, I probably would go with the 9.5 pull back without the spacer. More for looks than anything.
