Yup. Not cheap though.

Anything in Europe?

I've found some in Estonia in metric system, 29mm ID, not with 28.575mm ID (= 1.125").

ten bucks for 2 feet? i thought it was pretty good if youre only gonna make one pair

Do you ever go to your math classes, lol?
If the OD (outer diameter) is 1 1/4" (1.25") and wall is 0.065" then the ID (inner diameter) is 1.12". SR fork's OD is 1.125" so go figure it out if your bar will fit on it or not.

Just in case for you to know, 0.005" is not a big diffirence.

and its probably actually better for it to be a little tighter since it will clamp on harder and wont slip off as easy

so that tubing will work? (the link above)

and what would i use for the top bar.

(grips bar)

if i get the metal i can have it welded by a guy right down the road from me

handlebar

 

[zakmak]

sweet thanks eric

im making my own bars !! finally.

thanks im very grateful.

 

[Eric Magray]

your welcome

and a tip: use the precut tubes, custom cut usually cost more and its just cheaper to cut it yourself

 

[zakmak]

ok thanks

i will deffnitly be the one cutting them
and i justtalked ot one of my freinds and his dad
is a welder so he is going to do it for me for free.
this is awesome

i just half to bring the stuff over and he is doing it.

 

[Eric Magray]

yep, i hope they turn out well.

 

[zakmak]

me to,
first pair and hopfully they last forever but i bet i will
outgrow them since im only a freshmen so i will deffnitly need to make higher ones.
but im sticking with these ones for a while.

 

[Eric Magray]

how tall do you ride them now?

november birthdays ftw! youre exactly a week older than me

and yea im freshman too but in my school you pick this shop that you wanna be in to learn the trade of whatever career you want to be in and im trying to get in welding/fabrication where i can make me some new parts, and make a bunch of other stuff just having fun with fire .

 

[farmboy uk]

i wish id carried on metalwork

 

[zakmak]

i havn't measured but i bend my back and it kills so im finally going to raise them im going to just have my bars high and see what feels right and if it's to high i will just cut then down til it's perfect. ya those class's sound sick today i was talking to a senior and he said there was a welding class so i might take welding next year but who knows.

haha one week older, sick.

plus im 6'0 foot and i don't want my bars to high and im always growing so im always raising them.
