New ironman torsion bars (2 Viewers)

[SLiggwood]

So, I'm doing an AHC delete this weekend, using Ironman kit.

Do torsion bars get three splines or five splines on the initial index?

No marks on the new bars and no instructions in kit.

Can't find answer in my searches.

Do the new bars not have white paint marks on the splines? The ones I installed last summer did.
This video is what I followed

I have seen a few done with five splines.

I have seen IM bars came with and without paint marks.

Thanks guys. I watched that video. At about 25:35 he shows three spline offset on IM bars.
Everything else I watch or read says five???
I got the AHC bars out now, was easy! They have five splines clearly marked.
New IM bars have no spline markings.
Just going to put one in with three and see what the adjuster looks like.

Yeah, pretty easy to just pull the back adjustor thingy off and move it a spline or two if you run out of threads also. you don't need to drop the whole bar or even mess with the front.

My Iron Man bars came marked with white paint, install was pretty straightforward.

The question was three or five splines offset?
Didn't want to do it twice.
I got one in today with three, before the wind/rain storm, power went out for seven hours.
Screwed the adjuster bolt in hand tight, then went six turns, it's only got about 1/4" travel left.
Probably pull it tomorrow and clock two more splines, and do five on the other one.

I'll update this cluster in a couple days with some solid answers and maybe a few pics.

So, here's the update...

I installed both bars clocked at three splines.
Ran out of travel on the adjuster shy of 21" fender to hub.

Some of the parts I swapped.
