One piece aluminum bars

So yeah, my brother is a hell of a weight freak, and recently he asked me if I could make him some one pieve bars out of aluminum. Personally, I think that this would have nothing to do with strength, and it would be even weaker than stock bars (especially that I have no access to high grade aluminum). This idea seems pretty stupid to me but my bro wants his scooter to look cool, so has anyone ever tried making something like that?

Is that based on the same thick walled tube as the Buff bars? Cause that would only make sense if it was.

Yes, i guess. I believe Andrew wouldn't make anything that was weak.

Ha i've always wanted to make Wees out of aluminium, but i don't seem to find a local company that sells really thick and fit tubing for handlebars. I found one though, they only sell like 550 lbs of minimum order, gay.

I don't know if i would, i would want to do a "ride-and-DESTROY-test" first with the bars, and then decide what to make. For now, the steel Wee bars are pretty darn good.

How much does the average Chromo bar way? Maybe Andrew is trying to point out that Aluminum bars that are strong enough to be riden will weigh just as much as Chromo because it will have to be that much thicker to still be ridable. Just my thought, I dont know how much Chromo bars weigh so maybe what Im saying has nothing to do with anything at all.
