Was wondering, how hard can it be to make your own 12 o'clock bar.

A friend of mine has a 2002 F4i and is looking to buy, but we got to thinking. Is it not just two straight bars coming off the subframe and a single straight bar connecting them at the end.

Surely, someone here has tried this? Where do I start?

 

I made one for my 900RR...if you can weld then yes you can make one...

If your lookin to buy I got a round bar forsale

 

ya ive been thinkin of makin one but i dont know what angle to weld it at or anything? do you just go directly off the subframe then stand the bike up and weld?
Thanks

 

stand the bike up straight up and down...u can either take a board and press it flat side to the rear wheel (standing the board up and down as well) this will show the angle u want...clamp the side struts down to your subframe and usethe board to show you the angle the scrape plate needs to be at...just mark the line on the struts and cut and weld a scrape plate on.

 

I'm thinkin of doin the same for my '03 F4i some day.

AzNBoI, what are you lookin to get out of that round bar?

 

so what metal do you use? 3/4 flat steel? or like 12 in?
thanks
