How to make bar extenders! (pics)

[Mario Rocchio]

Fatigue would cause the OD of the dowel to decrease, then the 'extensions' would come loose and be held only by your grips.

uhh my bars are like 14 wide I want them like 20 wide :\

Woods gonna break and you're gonna smash your face. Pretty shitty idea tbh

 

[Vito]

yeah steel+epoxy glue=strong enough (similar to how we reinforced razor forks back in time)

this won't break

 

[gjdadj]

it would be perfect if you used epoxy on the dowel and then re sprayed that bit, it'd look kinda like it came that way! really good idea man, not i'm happy with my 21 wide batwings

1. It's wood. It will break. All of you who say it won't are wrong. Scooter falls upside down once, and it will snap and/or warp.
2. Aluminum razor crossbars have 1/8" thick walls. Steel bars have 1/16" thick walls.

You can always weld a little piece on the end..

thats gonna happen if you ride with your hands on the ends of the bars.. which no one really rides like that

the wood wont snap, but it will definitely decrease in diameter over time, or warp.

I'm going to do a tutorial on how to weld little bar pieces on the ends.

nah i meant if you keep leaning on it or ride holding the wood for some reason, it most likely will fall off or break lol

 

[issac p]

it would fall off before it broke.
and ive welded extra metal to the ends of some rup bars and it worked great. you couldnt even notice it.

 

[TomK]

I would never trust this.

It would snap.

 

[iliveinahouse1]

i would weld extensions on my bars

 

[Vito]

wood won't work..
if not welding then:

yeah steel+epoxy glue=strong enough (similar to how we reinforced razor forks back in time)

cant you just take the a bars, cut a slit all the way throu it like you would cut a slit in bars, hammer it in as far as you want bar extenders using a hammer?
