Here are some pics. Remember this is still a work in progress.
I'm contemplating blending in the weld beads..what do you think? I know I have to get rid of the spatter amrks, though.

I really like the mounts you have started with on the rear fender braces, but I think the rest of the bar, although showing a good amount of skill to weld and shape, is not my style. I think they digress too much from the lines of what a sportster should look like.

Very Cool! My opinion...paint it black!

good to see something origional...well done...I'd blend the welds and powdercoat it...but that's just me.

i think its very cool,powder coat it!

Looks sharp fer sure.

Problem is, that now I don't think the spade ornament I made will match...

You could always cut the top angle out and weld the spade in there. I would lay it over the top section photo again and let us see what it would look like. I think it would look great and tone down the aggressive lines of the rest of the bars.

I was thinking of making a bracket probably 6" down from the middle point and mounting the spade there...I still have to see. I'll take a pic of the bar with the spade laying on it, and see what you guys think.

It looks great Engine! Your very talented!

I like it! Keep going so we can see the finished product! :clap

Nice piece of work! Good job.

thanks...but I wouldn't say that I'm talented...there are a lot of things that I wish I could do better...I'm just getting by on the skin of my teeth...

I agree with collinsb and stevo very talented work and nice to see someone doing something original. The welding looks first class.

Hi Eng,

The mounts are really good, the rest looks like a lethal weapon..I'd hate to be on the wrong end of that cissy bar going down the road!

That spade will look good on there. I like your idea for positioning. I dunno. I'm thinkin' chrome.

Awesome work! Makes me want to dust off the ol' welder and make me one. Altho for what I paid for the factory chrome hirise sissybar for my bike, maybe I autta let it deperciate some first. :clap

I really like that. One of the coolest things I have seen all year. Good job. I was thinking about how to do a good sissy bar. now I know! right on!

thank you. There are updated pics in the Sportster Discussion Forum.
