I wanted a new set of bars with more pullback and rounded top. After researching all the usual suppliers (Carlini, Wild 1, BR...) I decided on the Torch HB-7 bars, I think the rounded look will go with the lines of my bike. Ordered them Tuesday the 8th and they shipped yesterday. Will do a thread when I put them on. My 16" Treehugger will be looking for a new home soon if anyone has interest.

 

Considered the torch apes until I found mayhem apes by kst they are awesome company. Wanted 1 1/4 bars. They make them 37 wide. Asked if they could be closer. They custom made me some 1 1/4 bars that are 35 wide and they are perfect. Had em made in less than a week. Had em powder coated and to me in another week. They are stainless so if I scratch through the powder coat they won't rust. Best company I've dealt with.

 

I also looked at the KST bars, they look like quality bars. I wanted 1.5" diameter with a bend in them, KST wouldn't do it so I looked around. Torch had these made, powdercoated and shipped within 9 days...not bad so far. Waiting to see how quality and fit are

 

Ya the 1.5 bars are hard 2 find custom shops 4. As soon as I saw some mayhems I had 2 have em. They were a bitch 2 wire though.

 

I am in the market for a new set of bars my self to replace the br custom bars I have. Be bars are nice but I am not waiting another 4 months for a set. I am very interested in the torch 1.5 bars so how fast they sh them out is important to me along with quality

 

Just looked up the tracking number that Justin from Torch sent me. Expected delivery is Tuesday the 22nd but they just arrived at the local Fed Ex facility so I will probably get them tomorrow (Monday). That is two weeks or less from the time I made the order until delivery.

 

how are the bars from kst? was thinking carlini pist apes until i found this thread. am thinking about the 1 1/4 outlaws. any info would be of help thanks.

 

Just unpacked the Torch bars. Finish is as good as I have seen, A+. Looks good under shop lighting and in sun.
All measurements are spot on (base width, total width, rise, pullback).
Will install them this weekend.

 

I sure do love unboxing new apes. Way better than any other part on the bike

 

cant go wrong with torch ind!..they are really good peeps!
