Thread: D1 custom rear bar?

Hey Tim

This will give you some ideas




I quite like the design of that last one ....

Thanks mate!!!!
I like that last one to!!
But i think because the d2' have a longer body the rear bars are different, but it is a great design to work off, the first one looks a bit hard to fabricate, but it also looks good.

CHEERS TIM.

smore!

Thanks Khos!

I dunno about manufacturing it commercially, its nice to be away from the workshop out of term time or be just tinkering on my own junk. I've got the drawings in there so that anybody can use as they please.

Thanks Tim,

Even though its a D2 bar, I thought that maybe some of the concepts may be useful. Its a heavy but incredibly strong bar, and withstand BIG hits which result in nothing. The problem with it is the mounts can make it prone to some rotation - something worth considering in whatever you develop or if you adopt the mount plan that I've made.

The profile of the bar also was meant to duplicate in many respects that of the original bar, so doesn't improve (or reduce) the departure angle. Baz (Redback) has made a bar for a D2 with some of the mods that you're after and that may also be worth a look at.

Thanks again
I really like that design and it looks as if it can be done fairly easily
I'm after something light because i have already done my suspension and don't want to go to heavy and have to replace the springs with heavier ones
I'll look into it a bit more and see what i can come up with.
I have seen Baz's it also looks great!!!
Do you know if those d2 rubber looking things that rap around the rear corners just above where your bar raps around will fit a d1???
With those it could make it easyer

CHEERS TIM.
