Homemade handle bars

[Guest]

So I was curious on how clubman bars would be on my bike, but i didnt feel like spending $50 on them. So I made my own. I still need to finish sanding them and paint them.

Alert the MEDIA!! "Extra, Extra! Read all about it!"

LOL....

This was a GREAT post! Thanks, it made my morning!

Well, i'm sorry you went to all that cool work and it didnt' work out like you wanted though... but, if you're into DRAG racing instead of road-riding, a few seconds at a whack wouldn't kill you so bad...

oh well. R&D sometimes goes that way.

Nice work anyway.
Too bad you didn't like em.

Very cool looking bike Tarbash...did you customize your exhaust yourself? And how exactly is that tail light mounted?

Great work even if it didn't work....I'd have no clue.

There's always the old "pillow in the tank bag" technique. Did you try that?

i aint got no tank bag. i fiddled with the bars at a bunch of different angles and it was just way to much for me. i put superbike bars back on, 100 times better. as for exhaust, its cut off right after 2-1 on each side. homemade fence pipe slash cut tips with welded in washer to give it some back pressure. sounds so cool. as for tailight, piece of 1/8 steel from home depot, bent and twisted and mounted on turn signal mounts. heres a picture of the clubmans on the bike.

i also filmed a clip of my friend riding my bike down my road. its a really bad video but here it is anyways.
