Re: Any one else here build a 12bar heres mine

Here's the bar I made for my pitbike. I was stoked with how it turned out! I do a lot of TIG welding at work so I put my skills to good use :YEAH
I made it completely bolt-on (no drilling) so I can take it off when/if I ever sell it.

Re: Any one else here build a 12bar heres mine

not bad. i hope i don't see that thing bolted in the stock subframe bolt hole...if so, knock that **** off, it'll break super fast. drill the subframe and use 3/8" hardware to hold it nice and firm.

all in all it looks good, i wouldn't have angled it so high though, i like mine at the level of the rear seat or lower so if i go over in a stoppie i don't get a bar in the back, i get a rear seat. just a thought.
