side struts would help balance it out also i think

Well we got some more done to the bar this weekend but we are far from happy with it . Still not finished as the pipe bender we have is crap and will be getting a new one later on . We are going to make another one of the same design but wait for the new pipe bender as it has let us down in a big way . heres a couple of pics ........
