WOW are these the SM2 knockoffs Budda?
I want oneeeeeeee...whats difference between the 2 weld and 4 weld???

The 4 weld looks farther, I like it

01 and later you need these 4 weld. I am making them as soon as my welder figures out how to program a band saw. Matter of fact I think I am just drunk enough and prolly he would be too, for me to call him and read out some worthless code to him.
As for how they fit vs the 2 weld. The 2 weld will almost hit the tank. You'd definetly crush your thumbs.
If you dont have ~2 inches room, its not right. Just think of what could happen if you crash and bend the damn bars. Yea you'd clobber the tank. OK fine its unavoidable in a crash, but not on a simple drop. The 4 welds are what I'd make for a 01+. Besides we have to reseal our bender so we can bend stuff, so no mo 2 welds till then. 4 welds fit a 90-00 great as well. I dont like them cos they are not like a glove fit on the 90-00. That's all.
Cool.

Yeah, now that I have a second '94, I'd be very interested in another set of 2 welds when you fix your bender... The new bike could also use some Buddha case guards like the old one...

Wow. Old thread.

Those bars are dope.

vorBH

"Those bars are dope."   What do you mean by that?

Buddha, are the 4welds wider? How wide are they?.........are they like the SM2's?

Can you give me the full specs so I can measure and see what I would possibly be dealing with?
Width:
Pullback:
Center of bar Width:
Length of bar for grips:

And they 0 with the top triples right?

vorBH

QuoteThey could be shortened a little, and everything could be moved inward 1/2" to 3/4",

I think they should be shortened more...all that empty space ON the bar, thats too much (from the end of the turn signal device to the top of the center area)
If I received them like that I would cut some more from each side to make the narrower a bit more

I'm pretty interested in some 2 welds for my 93' If you get around to it Buddha. are they still the same price?

The Buddha

OK guys even the 4 weld thing is going slow. 2 welds are further down my list.
I will make case savers after the bars but they will be a different design from before, that case guard also needed serious bending power.
I will have to start on them shortly after getting bars done. Problem is, I have to make atleast 25 or so of those. Now I have 5 bikes so I can count myself in for 5, I have had some commitments but I have had a lot of requests for pics. I will get 4 welds done, but past that I may not be makign bars till other stuff is dont and out. Fixing the bender isn't no picnic.
Cool.

I hope you got my in the 5....as for the 20 remaining, lez go people time to upgrade those bars!  :technical: : P

The Buddha

Sorry wait a sec here ... case guards have a minimum number I have to make, I am not fabbing by hand like I did the pervious versions.
Handlebars are hand made for the most part, my welder has a digital band saw he wants to program @ work, though I am really thinking we should cut these by hand and jig em and weld. Either way, handlebars are restricted by the amount of steel I have, I have enough to make 3-4 now, and once these are out and orders come through, I can make a few at a time. 20ft =5 bars. So I dont see a problem with too few numbers. I always sell them after the things are made. That's why I dont have any lying about.
Case guards are completely different. My design this time and for future will not be so much hand made. I dont live in nascar country for nothing ... that absolutely needs a 25 order lot at a minimum.
Cool.
Buddha.

My assumption would be because you didn't know the slang dope?  :dunno_white: just a guess but all I got for you!
