Got bored yesterday and decided to start the bar project. Couldn't decide on style, so I a made a few to try out. Has anyone ever milled the risers and speedo ona superglide to it 1.25" bars?

 

Looks good. I like the taller apes myself. Send me whatever you don't use!!!

 

I really like the taller ones, but am afraid of what it will cost to get cables or them.

 

Guys like you with fab skills **** me off![8D] The tall ones look cool.

 

awesome! i want your garage... look into the sporty set up... that may work for you wiht the speedo built into the top bar clamp... i know the 01's have em

 

I'll add another vote for the apes....is that a Samarai in the yard or a Jeep? I'm with you Scott - things I fab are functional, but not pretty....if I made bars, they would be all warped.

 

You're looking at $300 for good braided cables. The bars in the pic with you sitting on the bike are my favorite. The grip ends look a little high though. Might put you in a very uncomfortable position in the long haul.

 

Fabbing this stuff is super easy. A monkey could do it if he had the right tools. The hardest part is setting the machines up. Once that's done, you're good to go. Only problem is the machines aren't cheap, either are the tools that go in them. I just happen to be blessed with a great bunch of fiends and family that are pretty involved in anything that has to do with tubes.

$300!!!! Yikes, maybe these bars will just hang out in the garage or a while.

It's a jeep, we built it for the 07 SEMA Show.

 

Sorry, for some reason I thought it was a Samarai - I used to have this tiny little Suzuki 4x4 (1975, 76?) that predates Samarais when I was stationed in the Philippines. Two-cycle 2 cylinder which was transplanted with a 4 cyl Toyota motor. Only did about 45 screaming...

Great you can make things - I used to enjoy watching Jesse james work with sheet metal when he had his show.

 

The easyest way to go is cut the center section that goes in the clamp out and weld in a 1" pice so your stock risers will work and the rest of the bar is 1.25. I am not aware of a 1.25 riser that wouls work with your guage but it wouldent be hard to make.

You could also cut and cope two more pices of 1.25 solid drilled and taped 1/2-13 then weld those to the bars and have the risers and bars one piece. If you went that way you can run a short riser and dump the wires out the center bottom of the bars right down onto the top tripple tree.
