yeah, i know i've been slacking....

Kev's dying to see this bike finished...

I think Chainsaw should get an award/consolation prize for his handlebar mod!

thanks Chainsaw, this is one of the most useful "tricks" so far...


started with the stock bars...

Image

Image


cut some ends off another set of junk bars... lengths of conduit for sleeves... and a set of new hunt-wilde grips with a set of pokey end caps...
the "new" bar ends are just shorter than the grips...

Image

i mig welded mine together...

Image

hand filed the welds, and the grip covers the seam...
it's amazing how much of a difference 10 centimeters makes...

Image

removed the reflective tape someone had put on the bars, and steel wooled them...

I kept the keys to every old lock, just in case...

Now thems the bar that will be envied by every organised blood drive the Red Cross has! Give Blood!
Very Cool!

I want to thank all you guys for giving me so much credit for piecing together a few pipes to make a handlebar. I'm sure it's been done a million times and I probably stole the idea from somebody along time ago, but man, I love the credit! Thanks :mrgreen:

sprayed white, and all masking removed... it's kinda hard to see in the pic, but there is a silver outline left where the blue pinstripe tape was...

Image


printed out the original graphics (which i also scanned in before paint removal) now just need to make a stencil and paint them back on...

Image


just a shot to see how it will fit on the bike...
