Default My newest project

I was searching the net for ideas for another sissy bar (per member request) and ran across a pic of one with the top twisted together which I thought was cool and so did the other member so I'm making him one.

Here it's pictured with 2 more steps left for the polishing:

That would be cooler! No, it's stainless, the gold color comes from my camera. It sucks taking close up pictures inside. When I get it finished I'll get it outside in the sun and take a better one (hopefully).

A lot of heat and a chunk of Super Strut.

1/2" 304.

thanks for the compliment Mud, when's yours going to be done?

Updated pictures...

Thanks for the compliments guys, means a lot!

I am actually very pleased with the way it turned out. Even the fab guys at work were surprised with how good it looks. None of them thought it would twist this evenly.

A special thank you goes out to MechWorks over at CCF for his input on how to get the twist right the first time!

Here's the picture that started it all:
