    Bending a sunlite sissy bar at the bottom?

    Has anyone bent a sissy bar at the bottom backwards like a reverse "L" to look like tailpipes? If so how did you do it. I have a 36 inch one and instead of cutting it off at the bottom I was thinking of bending both sides. I did not want to mess up the them up to much either. Thanks

    Wide Apehangers?

    I have 2 questions for handlebars. My first is when vendors provide measurements for the widths is that measurement to the outside where the grips are? The 2nd is for vendors that sell these type of wider bars? I have looked but all I have seen look to be narrower.Thanks

    Well I have looked at the forums a few times and just picked up a 1963 Schwinn. I am wanting to put my own twist on it. It only has the frame, front wheel and original tire, original chain, cranks etc. It has a fork with it but not the original. I look forward to learning how to replace the...
