Making new bars
Ok. I have analyzed this handle bar thing until I have just about lost my mind. And I appreciate all of the responses to the questions I have asked. But, as I look out the window and see the leaves turning I know that winter ain't far out, and boredom comes right with it. So, I say to myself, "why not make the bars you want?" "Hmmmm," I say back to....me. "Why not?"
So here is another question. Can anyone out there tell me how to get the knurles in the bar so they won't spin in the clamps? I have already asked myself, but I don't know.
Thanks!

I've wondered the same thing. I've got a ton of clean DOM tubing.
A little research & I came up with this:

It may not be exactly what you need but it looks close. Basically it's a portable
circular knurl tool. There are circular knurl cutters on the web, but this is the first portable
tool I found.
Good luck

when I made mine I did it in the lathe before I welded them up.Mine are made like Z-bars so they are welded not bent.Mine are made from .125 walled stainless so they polished up like chrome.I'll ad some pics. Maybe this will help.
