I just got done welding this baby, i am making a seires of handles, this is the first. I was amazed at how comfortable it is to use, at first i thought it would be hard to hold but after a lil trying it out it works fine.

Why? He has a product and someone may be interested in having one, and a little extra cash never hurts. Its only when he makes thirty different threads trying to sell them that it gets bad. Yeah I tried Owen's at Toque a little and I was worried on a bail of my fingers getting all tangled up being like wripped off or something. I think he later stopped using it for that reason. Keep innovating and it'll eventually work.

Nice handle, Evan. If you want to keep it from shredding your thigns, maybe you should attach some plates along the edges (that extend to the screws) so hat rather than running into a solid piece of bar, you will slide along a piece of plate. Is that steel, chromoly or aluminum?
that looks more comfortable to hold than a standard handle, I think. the normal ones are too curved, or maybe my hands are too big.... I think you should attach a rubber handle to each side or something, like on bike handle bars. that would be much more comfortable, and safer. ya know, it reminds me of the Reeder handle. yeah.
Evan, You might want to invest in some inexpensive rubber caps for the ends of the crossbar. These are readily available at your local hardware store and come in various sizes. What size tubing are you using?

If you ain't crashing, you ain't going fast enough!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont know i think a handle with the bars going straight are still better that seems a little occward to hold :confused: . somebody should make a coker with bke bars
I'm sure David Stockton and Tom Miller could engineer them. Don't know what it would cost per unit to get the first batch produced, but it seems like a doable thing.
Bevan, Do you think that i should put all that stress/weight on just the handle bracet? I mean thats alot of forse on those 4 bolts, i was thinking of making it attactch to the frame with those little metal tie wrap thingy-ma-bobs

They're called hose ties. Try looking into the seat post awsomeness thread of alternative attachments. If I were you I'd sacrafice a seatpost and just weld directly to it. You might want to strip the chrome first, though.
Well im talking aobut for the areo bar things, since your bacicly gona be resting alot of weirgt downward i thought that useing those "hose ties" and making a breacet to clip to the frame would work good.
