Title: Anyone know where I can buy raw aluminum tubing?
Post by: CasiUSA on April 05, 2005, 02:12:21 PM
Hey guys, I was looking for a good place online where I can get  aluminum tubing- I got a set of clip ons dirt cheap without the actual bars, just the mounting brackets.
It needs 7/8" thick walled aluminum tubing- probably 36" should be more than enough so I can cut them for the bars. (If anyone can come up with another suggestion for what to use, that would also be great)
Any leads would be greatly helpful. Thanks.

Just buy like answer or MSR dominator bars ... aluminium has to be bent and thick walled for use in handle bar ... steel and stainless can be bent/welded ... That makes aluminium tubing useless literally for the GS ... we can b=never bend it into the right angles for good fit on GS.
Cool.

He needs them for aftermarket clip-ons NOT handlebars.
