Steel if you want them to last. Aluminum is weak if you're as clueless as you seem to be. No offense should be taken from that, either.

If you don't know what you're doing, I wouldn't suggest making bars. You can go ahead and learn about material selection, welding, design, and whatnot but if you have to ask whether (chromoloy) steel is stronger than (most) aluminum, you're not ready yet.

no..i know that its way stronger and therefore you can use a skinner wall thickness but then again if u have skinier wall thickness then the od will NOT be 1-3/8 but im all set now....im getting some chromoly steel and making oversized bars to put onto my dirt scooter..i willl post pics of the process..plus i will have extra material so i will make more bars and possibly sell some of them...not as in im making a bussiness but just to get rid of the extra metal so stay tuned to see my progress
