Sissy bars

[Saint]

I just wanted to get peoples opinions on using rebarb for sissy bars. I'm just wondering about overall strength. I like the look but don't wanna bother attaching em if they are just gonna bend over on the freeway when I've got a sleeping bag on it Haha. I was thinking 2-3 feet tall.

Use a thick enough bar and it's not going to bend. I've seen guys do it well. Most of the time it looks cheap.

Thanks.

Rebar is lame Find a local scrap yard and get some round or square bar for cheap and do it right.

I'm not worried about finding metal. I want that shitty backyard look.

Then might I suggest chicken coop wire for your fenders?

Perhaps a X X X whiskey bottle for an oil tank?

Haha. Maybe....

If you have to use that crap, use Grade 40. It welds better than Grade 60. By the way, it's rebar, not "rebarb", or did you mean rhubarb?.

the sell steel bars at home depot and lowes around here fairly cheap. If you dont end up going with rebar. Its your bike build it how ever the hell ya want. Its a conversation piece, its even cooler when you steal it from a construction site haha i kid i kid.

steel some copper from a construction site, sell it, and use said stolen fundage for rubarb sissy barb

it would be sick to use square steal stock as a sissy bar though

I was thinking about making a sissy bar out of hexagonal brass stock, but then my bro gave me a super pimp trident sissy for a Harley, Trident sissy bar for a Triumph Trident...Fitting !
