Round Bar

I already tried searching for this and found nothing usefull so that needs to be said before I get lit up.

Anybody make a round bar for a fifty?

Re: Round Bar

It would be cool, however I have no access to a machine shop and don't have the tool to bend the bar properly.

I'm sure lots of peeps have already asked Ryan Moore but I guess it's worth a shot.

it only HAS to be the same length as the fender. Longer would be nice to put the foot in though. I might make one tonight if I have time.

Mike, if you make one and it works out half decent I will buy one from you.

Is Chino far from you? He's shipping me out some forks soon. Could save me some shipping.

Mine (Alies) wont come off the bar anyway until it slows down enough for the clutch to disengage. Ive only ridden maybe 5 of them in my life, and the only one that would actually come off the bar easily had a disk brake with a streetbike handbrake.

Re: Round Bar

I think he's looking for something more like this. Im not sure what size tubing he used, i found this in the "pictures of your 50" thread. Dude said he straightened out the subframe a little, bent this tube up and beat it on. Its not welded or clamped and it doesn't budge. As soon as i can get to lowes im gunna find the right size tubing, get an at home pipe bender and give it a shot. When i take the frame to get powder coated im gunna have them weld it on and coat it all at the same time!! I've been looking for tha same thing for ever and stumbled on this picture, only one i have ever seen like this....and thats how i wanted mine to look!!

Re: Round Bar

Yep. That's what I want. It would be ok if it stuck out more in the back but not too much. I think I'm gonna have to break out the torch and make it myself.
