My new grab bar. Update

[Yamada]

Sweet custom bar and probably cost you next to nothing!!

The only problem is sometimes a big strong bar like that is much stronger than the frame. In the event of a roll down a hill or something it could trash your frame - thats all............

Well to say the truth the frame is already tweaked at a couple of place. But still usable.
Any one have any tail light ideas?

HA!!!! did you know you can vote for every option in the pole! lmao.


Sorry, but I dont have anything negative, or positive to say, so I couldnt pick one pole option.

It looks to be shapin up with the last couple pics you posted.

Yes I know, I made it that way.

UPDATE!!!
Ordered a new Yamaha Blaste tailight from the dealer this week. Yesterday I started making a mount on my grab bar. Use a small piece of iron and after some welding here is the final result. I also welded brackets for my license plate. Should be strong enough. Only other thing I want to do on my grab bar is weld some tabs to hold an army cartridge box. Should be really useful as a toolbox and extra storage space.

It is not me... One of the previous owner welded a lawnmower muffler at the end of muffler.
It has to go...

Thank for your comments everyone.

That's what I thought it was. Poor man's spark arrestor, maybe?

[Yamada]

Probably a way to quiet it down some. I can see where to muffler was cut and rewelded at 3 differents places.

Here is my grab bar with my mount for the army cartridge box. The box was $25 at the army surplus. I will use this box to carry tools, gas, oil, tire repair kit, my wallet, my cellphone, etc. This time I decided to paint it flat black, less of an hassle to clean it. Anyway it will only stay painted until I loose the control on my next wheelie.

I have a homemade grab bar on my 185 but it needs some work. The PO just bolted on two pieces of angle iron. I want to bolt a rack onto it.

Why was your Probabtion Officer bolting angle iron to your trike??? (jk)
