I could use some info or pics on what other guys have used to build there own 12 bars for a R6!!! materials? monting brackets? subframe mods? THANX!

 

JB weld, Hose Clamps, Twist Ties, Zip Ties, and some steal stuff

 

Thats a real help, jakass!

 

I have a never used 12 bar, drilled for adjustment, for an 02 R6 for $60 + shipping if ya want it...just thought I'd throw it out there

 

THANX, but they changed subframes from 99 to 02, so i dont think it will work without modifing the bar or subframe!

 

dude,
there really not that expencive its probally easier if you just buy one less head ache

lol i think i spelled that right


"shut n scrape sumthin"

 

if you know a welder with some scrap metal, that would actually save you the time and money.

doesn't really need to be perfect. if you can, if there is another bar that someone has on around you. just make the angle about the same. cut some metal. gotta drill holes into your sub frame. I use only 4 holes. then bolt it up. You can stand the bike straight up and down and test it once its on there.

find a shop somewhere that can weld and cut metal. then you'll be set.

better than some $125.00

 

I work in a machine shop, and i can build what ever the hell I want! I'm just lookin to see what other guys used, ya know, to cut down on the trial & error B.S.!
I know it's not rocket science, I just want to see other peoples ideas!
THANX for the input!!!

 

definately man. I would post pics if I had some good ones. I'll take some digital ones tonight and postem.

 

use 3 peices of steel flat bar. 3/16" or 1/4" thick is more than enough, and 2" wide would do. Bolt on 2 lengths to either side fo the subframe, then mitre cut the ends to your desired angle. Then weld on a length between the two bars for your scrape surface. Really easy, and will use less than $5 in material. You just need someone that can weld.

When I got my racing905 ba rin the mail, I felt like an idiot. They are very well made, and engineered for you bike, but I'd rather save $90 and make my own.

 

Thanx for the input!!

 

Whats the best way to figure how far out the bar should be? Should be even with the rear tire or in a little?

 

My friend bought a 905 12 bar too. It is ok but for the price savings I would rather build it myself and spend the money elsewhere. The 12 bars are easy to make if you have any mechanical skills. We will be buying a tubing bender to start making our own cages too. It doesnt have to look perfect if its going to get fooked up anyhow. If its for a show buy the high dollar ones.

 

If U would read a little closer, I am building my own bar??
