In honor of the hangmen's sissy bar

[spinman]

I've always dreamed of owning the holy grail of sissys, but they always seemed out of reach.

Had the good fortune of finding a guy on Ebay who bends his own bars out of solid 1/2" square stock. We talked and after giving him my specs, he hit it out of the park with this.

The builder was in a bad chopper accident years ago when he witnessed his front axle spinning out of the fork at 60 mph. He tried to ditch the bike on the side of the road, but before he could, the bike flipped over on top of him and broke his neck and back. Paralized in a wheelchair, he bends these bars with hand tools and a torch.

A great guy.

The builder Matt Tomas on his handicap accessible chopper. He throws his wheelchair on the back mini trailer.

Will we be seeing this on your build off bike?

Nah, I don't do the build offs anymore as I'm too disorganized to keep any schedule. lol

It's going on my new build the 'MickyD' which I'll post up soon.

That is wicked cool! Just curious what does he charge to do something like this?

 

[spinman]

$150 plus shipping.

 

[spinman]

I'm sure he would.

Just make sure you send him good specs with dimensions all written out.

PM me if you want his phone number.
