Ive ran alot of aftermarket parts that are anodized and they all fadded within 6 months. I dont run anything but billet options now. Little bit of polish and it looks new again
Those painted parts usually fade no worries there, although their stuff is over priced, the same grade aluminum is available for much less in many other companies.
I've been getting slyfox stuff for my bike. The quality is just as good, the prices are better, they also have carbon fiber parts. But the biggest difference is they actually have a race team that runs their products. So they are put to the test. Thrashin looks the part but slyfox plays the part.
Their T bar riser setup would flex side to side on my old Street Bob. Local HD dealer said it was a bad design & cheap metal. Switched to Kraus and never had an issue again.
Also comes down to how you clean and protect the bike too mate I have seen many use a nasty cleaner on there bikes and spokes and anodised parts go to shit,my bikes 12 years old I ride it wash it but I use all of bowdens car care range the sealants keep the finishes nicer I like thrashins gear they have nice billet bits and use good arp stuff there grips are $40 a set so I’d expect them to burn out fast I run the $100 Arleness grips and pegs was $300 for grip shifter n foot peg good price and haven’t had any wear issues
@douglasbaxter3346 I actually use bowdens aswell. An I actually park it inside when I'm not using it. I'm trying to make up my mind to powder coat these of get a new set a different brand.
I have a low rider s and I've had it for 2 years. I've added mostly all thrashin. Started some Amazon crap and eBay crap and it faded quick the black and colored even worse. Once i went thrashin even though they were pricy the black stuff is still full color but the gold pegs did fade like yours after a year but they do get used daily so i went back to black and ive stayed. And i dont have a garage, so it's the sun. I bought a gold handlebar from pazoma, and it faded in a month compared to thrashin a year. So i bought a thrashin handlebar.. I have black flo pegs and shifters on my road glide and they still same color as black thrashin. But noticed everything colored fades faster than black.. no matter what brand.
@@LilWixxy yea i just swapped my gold pegs and shifter from trashin. At least it lasted a year. My pazoma handlebar was faded gold on top shiny gold on bottom lol took it off right away
I have went in other directions with my bike because I don't think that the finishes on Thrashin products would stand up to a desert climate. I also think that they are way over priced on their products. I bought from Original Garage and Bullitt Worx. The modular mini floorboards from Bullitt Worx have way more versatility for approximately the same price. And the rear engine guards from OG ($450) replaced my passenger pegs and they are anodized slider caps, that are replaceable for around $40-50. Thrashin made a name for themselves on RU-vid and they capitalize on it with over priced parts. It's a excellent marketing ploy that they thank everyone they see on their rides that have bought their parts. Doesn't hurt that they are very entertaining to watch.
Ha! I can’t believe you’re talking shit about thrashing cuz the ano on the pegs are wearing lol. Your foot is constantly rubbing against that. There absolutely nothing you could do to color those and have them be colored a year later without any wear at all.
@jaycosta7204 yea mate I guess anodised looks kool for a short amount of time but just doesn't hold up. I'm going to see if I can get them powered coated. I powder coated my shooting truck tray and it never chipped or faded in 5 years.
@STAYHUMBLE302 na mate I park it inside but I do ride every day. I emailed about the grips coz they tore in 2weeks they sent a new set. I figured there wouldn't be much to do with the fading coz a new set will do the same.
I do like their products but I find that they are just way too over priced. The risers I think are their hottest seller for the lowriders. You can pick up a bungking risers for like $200 usd. I think I paid almost $600 from TS by the time it was shipped. I don’t mind paying a little extra for good products but they are price gouging.
I think no matter what the brand...any item that has hand or foot contact or exposed to the elements, sunshine, rain etc is not going to look like new after one year of service.
@@LilWixxyexactly there powder coated. This stuff isn’t powder coated and none of us would want those parts powder coated. The finishes on these products hold up Surprisingly well compared to other brands in the industry.
Avon has been a staple in my bike collection for grips and pegs. Cant beat the price and quality. Your risers cost as much as what I initially paid for one of my sportsters and it ran.lol no offense but thats kinda sounds ridiculous. Matter of fact you got more in pegs and risers than I do in buying 3 out of the 4 bikes i currently have. I stay away from Big names as much as possible, thats all your buying is a name. Nice looking bike though.. Check out some Avons brother, I got no complaints..
Glad someone has said it cause especially for the price of them it’s insane, love the blokes behind the brand but definitely cheap quality parts when it comes to colours, I’d say the raw ones wouldn’t fade at all or look as bad and it’d why I see most the thrashing guys only use raw or stainless
@@LilWixxy lord have mercy. I just checked their prices. Long story short my uncle bought that eagle claw looking kick stand. Im a kid then and infront of every one of his biker friends i said, "Look your bike got a checken leg!" Mind you hes heavy like em all as well. Point is some ones gonna talk smack whether its cool, expensive, or just custom that looks like a chicken foot.
@OEFarredondo you are 100% correct mate everyone has there different styles and taste. I'm just trying to give accurate opinions on stuff I have used just so people have an idea. Coz I do the same I jump on see what people are saying about stuff an give it a try.
@@LilWixxy"It's ridden regularly" That's why those front pegs are faded the way they are, from being used. I mean look at the back ones, they look brand new.
Some items like bags and such are way over priced (Viking patriot bags $199 USD or the same bag that says thrashin on it...$399 USD) same thing with their bar bags I run a first aid bag that has velcro moly straps I got for $9 vs their bag that is $75!!!!) I personally wouldnt sped 100s on bars (have been running emgo bars for years on stuff and or renthals) Emgo bars with similar bends..$35. I also dont have 1000s to spend on parts but also if I did I wouldnt.
@@STAYHUMBLE302 Well I have to disagree and there build quality is the same (I have seen both in person)I dont care what people spend there money on but I am not paying 200 more for a lightning bolt
based on some of your other videos, like you installing an exhaust in the dirt. I'm gonna go our on a limb and guess that you don't store your bike in a garage. Can't really talk shit on a product when your bike is parked outside in the sun non stop. doesn't matter who made it anodized parts are gonna fade when stored in the sun.
ALL of my arlen ness colors have faded really bad which is why I’m going to go with Crossthread. All my red stuff that was once super awesome is now a faded pink and looks dumb.
I don’t think they’re anymore over rated than Arlen Ness or anyone else. The prices are competitive with the other big names. Still expensive. But competitive. I won’t pay for it but I still love the company. I’ve recently found Crossthread for pegs, floorboards and levers etc. highly recommend them over the names you’re paying for
I bought a used FLTRXS that came with all Thrashin lower controls and boards in black. I have not had any of the issues you have with the gold or risers. I have put 6k miles (9656 km) on the bike since February. The thrashin stuff is very expensive but I haven't had quality issues.
My stuff from Thrashin is all black, so I can't comment on the coloured stuff. In saying that, I have just over $4K of Thrashin parts from bars, risers, covers, perch clamps to bags - fucken heaps of stuff - on my FXLRS and it is all as good as when I put it on the bike going on 3 years. The AUS dollar has a bit to do with it and factor in shipping and of course it gets expensive. Have you contacted Thrashin about the gold pegs?
@barty74 no I havnt hit them up about the pegs just because it has been 10 to 12 months that there one on there. I did get a new set of grips sent out tho.
@@LilWixxy I would definitely contact them. lance seems like a pretty stand up dude and I’m sure if there are quality control issues they would love to know so they can correct it. Also remember. They design all their parts but that doesn’t mean they don’t use 3rd party companies to help them mass produce. That being said the prices are definitely extreme coming from an Mx background where practically the same exact pegs cost $50. This is the Harley life though. Nothings cheap.
@markgriffiths3923 cheers mate yea I'm not out to bag them or anything there stuff is built really well I can't fault that. I'm just surprised they faded like that. I would buy them again but probably in a black or silver or maybe even raw and powder coat them.
Wow Brother 😯,,,talk about Expensive Crap ....They should Replace the Grips for FREE ...till they start doing the Righty I'll never buy anything from these people...Thanks Bro ✌️
@paulhorvath9784 they actually have sent me a new set of grips for free. But I havnt put them on yet coz I'm going to put them on and see how long it actually takes before the wrecked. I'll reset my trip meter do some testing 😆
OH its just a pond hopper crying some salty tears for some views... well good think your no where near me as I would smack ya for bitching ONLINE or in person . quit cryin gya made a mistake with a company get over , also any one who crys on YT well they are...
Went on their site a couple years ago after they started the vlogs to get some shirts and quickly realized with the clothes and apparel prices i would never buy anything from them. Still like watching the show but no thrashin shirts or parts. Couple years ago I went with Arlen Ness air-trax grips and pegs 💪
I'm one of those Nostalgia guys that will Not put Any other Products on my Hog other than HARLEY DAVIDSON 💯..It is a Genuine HD Afterall and I don't want a BITSA. ✌️
@@LilWixxythe Arlen Ness are thinner than all others ,,,I just found them a bit rough on the hands Long distance...I went with the Willie G few months ago,,,They're great ..👍
@@Wellos_Speed I’ve had terrible experience with their anodized stuff fading very badly. I love the feel of my Arlen ness grips but the red ends are now a bad shade of faded pink. I wanna give the Hart-Luck grips a try. See if their colors hold up any better
@@Wellos_Speed yeah they black is probably pretty solid the only black Arlen part I have is an oil pressure gauge. It’s fade a littttle bit but nothing bad. Looks a little copperish now. But I’ve got red anodized mirrors, and grips that faded out. And I was going to do full engine trim in the red anodized from Arlen ness and I’m very grateful I didn’t just be of the mirrors and grips. I was gonna do red anodized derby cover, points cover, gas cap and there was something else too in their collection but I can’t remember now lol. I do think that their speed liner foot controls looks awesome and I’m willing to give them a shot. Mostly because they’re in black. They’ve got a performance look to them that I dig
