So I went into my local welder shop and..

[scooter dude 99]

I can get 20 feet of buff/ 1 piece bar steertubing for less that 20 bucks.
It is ALOT cheaper to make bars and for buffs all you need is a drill

 

[Brian Boston]

But i dont want 20feet tall buff bars...

 

[JoshToy]

Haha, was thinking the exact same thing, Brian. You need a saw to cut, file to smooth rough edges, drill to add holes for the stem.

But what makes BUFF's the price they were, was the stem and clamp. The stems by themselves usually sell for around $40-60. Plus the clamp, labor, materials and shipping. It adds up.

 

[Grahamk]

The ADA stem is expensive for buffs
Welding is expensive if you're only making one pair of bars

they dont come with clamps anymore.... but yeah i know what u mean, they are totally worth the price. buffs are the only bars ill ride. they are really light too (since they are aluminum)

i'd just like to take this time to say that buffs are quite possibly the best scooter part ever made. they're really light, really strong, interchangeable and customizable, and have lasted longer than any other part i've ever had.

 

[Dom Marconi]

i still don't believe you can get that material for that price.

 

[nate-O.S.K]

i weld for free so i make my own bars and shizz

my only problem with buffs is they bend quicker than one pieces IF you use the stock aluminum cross bar. and the clamp hurts on barspins if you fall a lot like me

 

[mat]

aluminum tub, chromoly crossbar. if the stem hurts you, put on different bolts or get/make a pad.

that sounds a bit cheap for the metal, its probably a weaker alloy and may be a bulk price. also, its only one part.

sorry if this isnt exactly on topic..
but if i were to but a BUFF bars stem on the SR store will it some with the hole and the slit already put in?

 

[Michael Rankin]

buffs are by far the best bars out there without a doubt

 

[nate-O.S.K]
