So im really starting to love this welder I just got--i cut my old crap bar off and put this together real quick. I used a solid 1 5/8" thick cylinder--nearly impossible to bend so i cut it into 5 seperate pieces (took almost 3 hours to cut with a mitre saw) and puzzled them together. My bike scrapes at 3 o clock now its great i tested it out tonight a little doing some coasters around 40 50 mph and just grazing it--its solid--no wobbles and 1,000 times better than a flat bar!!


Matching fairing stay!

 

nice :YEAH ill take one

 

nnnnnnnoooooiiiiiiiccccccccllllllyyyyyyy
Ddddoooooooonnnnneeeeee

Mmmmmeeeeeennnnnnngggggg

 

holy *hit that thing is friggin huge....LOL

 

thats a round bar, not an undertail bar..... it sticks out just as much as a flat bar


but im jelious cause i dont have a welder, or know how to use one

 

Just a quick qustion: why is everyone starting to go witht the round bars? What's the difference?

 

Home Depot $270 for a Lincoln Arc Welder DO IT

 

that's some thick ****! did u just weld it to the supports from your 12 bar?> i think i'm goin to the shop this weekend to make my undertail bar.. but my metal isn't NEARLY that thick

 

Looks good for a do it yorself job as thick as it is you wont need to replace it for a while maybe a powdercoat job will do it more justice

 

Yea i cut my bar off and an extra 4 inches off the side bars to bring the round bar in right above the taillight. I got a bunch of extra solid cylinders--too bad you don't live closer-a 12 inch section of it weighs about 20 pounds lol.-u should be able to find a metal warehouse that sells them--i can get any size/shape metal locally.

 

UPS goes by size the box can be small. If you want i can cut you a 12" section of it if you paypal me 20 bucks plus shipping $$

 

Its diameter is 1 3/8" my bad--still very thick--if you can heat it up and bend it you can save hours of labor but i don't have a good torch or bending equipment to do it.

 

That would be some hardcore **** ot bend!

 

thats badasss
$270? DAMNN
I'd buy an arc welder but I'd prolly burn off my fingers.
666TH POST HELLS YEAH:YEAH

 

ya 270 is cheap 4 a welder. TIG's run $2,000--i figure the arc will suffice for now until i pick up a TIG unit.

Arc welder sparks a lot and u get nasty sunburn on any exposed skin in like 5 minutes

 

are you gonna do foot in the pentagon wheelies?

 

 

no "FIP" wheelies

 

looks nice mang!! glad to know it's working for ya.

You know you can get a mig with a bottle at harbor freight or northern for less than $400...I though you at least had a wire feed! My dad might be bringing his old stick welder down in a couple weeks anyway...I need the practice before I buy something new!

 

looks good dude, as far as welders go, i paid like $350 or something for my hobart mig at farm and fleet, mig seems it takes a bit to learn but is 100 times easier once you get the hang of it, wire feed it the way to go in my opinion, plus you can get gas-less flux cored wire
