They came out well. But they are my take on someone elses design... Im pretty happy with these though! Also just completed today. They are what I had pictured for my other bars before I had the tubing bender.

ok heres a plan,, next dealer build we get i'll go with you on the bars to a design i got figured..

then we can see how the costings/shipping works and take it from there..

could also get some bars and stick them in the dealers i do builds for and see how that flys..

Yeah and if you have a standard bar that you would want bulk. I can try to get a rough estimate for shipping bulk. After I build a set to weigh. I would think it would work out to be cheaper. Let me know what ever you want to do and we will work it out man.

I would like to see a real BMX bar like the S&M slam bars, but 1" diameter. Or a bar like your "v" apes or the RSD vintage bars but BMX style with a bar in the middle. Make sense? Then put a sick custom pad on the bar of your shop name or something like that. I need to learn how to fabricate shit!

Turned the pet cock and sight glass bungs down from 1" cause its what I have on hand. Then tossed the pet cock bung in the vise on the mill eye balled the angle and started shaving. Kinda cowboy machining but atleast I know it... Ran the pet cock as low as I could and off the side or out the end just didnt look proper on this tank. So low it is!
