Yup....

Think I'm gonna do this in my shop this winter when I can't work. I've got several bars, including Apes hanging in my shop. None have ever fit me perfect. Already figured out how to do the twists, gonna have my son help me in my game plan. Cutting and welding the rest to fit, then grinding and cleaning up to make it pretty will be a piece of cake...

Yup. Had an old Muncie 3 speed that I was going to turn into a bar twister. Pretty east to twist the steel.
