Starting the bars.

Bars are 1" tube so I bored them and turned down the 7/8" tube for the grips and pressed them together before tig welding.

This build is MIND BLOWING!!! As a fellow machinist, I am really glad to see this going on. I have to ask though... the rest of the bike is looking so awesome, you're gonna give that poor seat low self esteem! Ever consider one of those big wide Brooks?

Thanks for the positive feedback on my build, as for the seat I would like a different seat so I will look at a Brooks thanks for the suggestion.
 
Spent a few hours sanding and polishing my bars.

Got a few more things to make then TEST RIDE.
 
Love the bars and shifter! Gotta be one of my favorite builds. Are you going to leave it bare metal? Looks sweet!

Thanks for liking my build, I am going to leave it bare aluminum that is polished like a mirror.
