The Hot Rodder's creedo is "if you can build it yourself you should" Use regular mild steel, 7/8" tubing is common and have at it. I've built bars for my XS1100. Be precise, if they're not the same left to right it'll be easy to feel the difference.

thank you... thats all i needed


Do it, I did and it worked fine. ..And you actually wanted to be talked into doing this that's why you brought it up on the board.
