swish cut n shut

[zak.]

ok so this will sound cheap but i got my swish bars second hand and there too low for me, which is not that good because a suffer from a bad back to the point were i cant scooter / move but cannot afford bars till i get a new job. im jobless atm and there's other things money needs to go on . my plan is to about 2-3 inch away from crossbar cut it in half then insert and tube in the middle then on top a 2 inch shim exact same inside and outside diameter then bars back on top and weld it alll up .
my dad assures me this is a safe and relatively easy process that he has done many a time on motorbike . but the main question i have is that is this gunna be sketchy a shiiiiit ???

shim on forks?

?

if by shim you mean spacer on the forktube that wont work there wont be enough overlap were bars sit
this is what i meen shit pic but self explanitory

 

[Joe Riley]

Don't do that. It'd snap so fast, that'd be such a bad weak spot.

 

[Dustin Nooner]

use headset spacers to make your bars higher

 

[DJ Lee]

do u have scs? if so, just put a forktube in ur bars and itll be 2in higher

ive got some MX park bars, theyl go up to like 30 high and there 18 wide and you can put a different crossbar in

that seemed totally irrelevant.
Honestly the welding idea doesn't sound too shitty. Try it on some stock bars and see how ti works?

if i were to do it i would taper the bars at the bottom to make them hic and taller

thats would be a good test. mainly because if you dont know how to weld aluminum its going to break

 

[coryM]

weld some 1-3/8 on bottom and run hic

 

[Devin Catron]

there wont be enough over lap on forktube - snappy snappy

and the middle piece the support will be 5-6 inches
