Trying to make my own 12 bar...
I wana try to make my own 12 bar...does anyone have any instructions on how to build my own or advice atleast....my freind has a welder so I guess it wont be too hard.....
Re: Trying to make my own 12 bar...
fast and simple cheap way...
take off ur seat.... straighten out ur subframe with a pipe
slam two 1/4 to 3/8 solid steel bars in to both ends of the subframe
then weld a plate to the steel bars...

I agree with streightening the rear frame rails but I used 1/2 angle iron it is alot stronger and easier to weld and cut streight. You can also use hose clamps to afix it to the frame so no hole means it stronger.
hope this helps I'll try to take pics of mine. I just fabbed up a skid plate tonight

Thanks..that sounds like a great idea robbie....wouldnt it fall off though if It wasnt bolted on it anyway?.....BTW I made a skidplate out of chrome dimond plate...it came out crooked and it bent when I went upstate in rocky trails so I threw it off to the side of my garage...
