Pics of my 12:00 bar on my Z400 - Quad / ATV Riders

Bill's Blaster · 10-27-2003, 12:33 PM

Here are a few pics of the 12:00 bar I made for my Z400.

I took some pictures of the whole process. I will post a step by step if anyone wants me to.

I re-enforced the subframe with 5/8 Steel Rod, so it should hold up well. I have slammed it pretty hard a few times and it hasnt moved a hair.

Sweet. How much and from where did you get it?

-Drew- · 10-27-2003, 02:43 PM

I thought you rode a blaster??? Hence the name "Bill's Blaster"

tattoochick · 10-27-2003, 02:44 PM

cool did you just weld that on to where the other bar used to be?

Bill's Blaster · 10-27-2003, 03:59 PM

Yep,

I just got the Z400 last week. I still have the blaster but my friend is taking over the payments.

I made the bar myself for about 20 bucks I would say.

I used two 18" 5/8 Steel Rod (For subframe support)

A foot of 3/16" X 2" Steel Plate (for the bar itself)

and two 3" lengths of 3/4" steel tube (to lenghten the stock subframe.

A little cutting/welding later and there it is.

I will post some pics tonight of the whole process.

lookin good...i gotta sand mine down a little more b4 i start cutting the sub-frame!!! Great idea on reinforcing the bars.
Just slap some paint on and it will be a factory option!

Bill's Blaster · 10-27-2003, 11:05 PM

Yep,

The day after I cleaned up the welds a little and sprayed some flat black... Looks cooool.

yah post a step by step, we're gonna be doin a bar on a KFX400 next week, the stock one is just about ground through.

it looks like you did it a little further out from stock. seems to sit perfect on the stock bar during 12's....any reason you went further out?

loose · 10-31-2003, 11:22 PM

This is what happens when u dont do the bar.....It took me all of that damage till i finally learned not to even mess up .

skelator · 11-05-2003, 12:50 AM

BigNasty · 11-14-2003, 03:19 PM

tell me if that lasts......man i would set that quad back on that for sh*t i mean ok you spent 20 Bux but it looks like it too....my sh*t only cost 75 and it full fabbed and welded to the frame and other things..you will tear your stuff up im thinking..if not ill gladly be wrong just trying to help the easy way aint always the best.

BigNasty · 11-14-2003, 03:20 PM

BigNasty · 11-14-2003, 03:21 PM

Bill's Blaster · 11-14-2003, 07:29 PM

Yeah bitch it's still on there. Ayo check it, I drop that shiznit back on it's heazy fo sheazy and that compound aint moved even a leazy beazy.... true that.. word life son.

But seriously.

My bar has held up just fine. I have dropped back onto 12 pretty hard in 4th gear and it's still dead on.

Jimmah · 11-14-2003, 10:10 PM

Knowing Bill personally I must say he's a smart guy. I trust his deisgn and put it on my 400EX. I looped it out pretty bad and sent the bike in the air and the bar and sub frame are still mint. Plus I don't lay it back all that easy either.
