That light would be cool along the side by the rear caliper . Like where some bikes mount the license plate. Like the look of the bar without any lights on it, just plain. Even though it's a chopper would look good with low handle bars maybe or even like they are on the goldwing but tipped down. Sylvester 🐈 was quite the helper this time lol.
Well low handlebars were what I was thinking. I think I've got a nice design planned, just not sure if it will jive with the sissy bar. We'll have to try it and see. I really wanted the sissy bar so I could strap a bag to it on occasion.
That’s badass and if it doesn’t work for the look Maybe just turning it into a much lower profile sissy bar with maybe a squared off top might better fit the look, seeing how the rest of the bike is more industrial
It's a Shoptask Bridgemill circa 2004 www.chicagolathe.com/content/12-history-of-3-in-1-machine I, of course, got it used. It came with a bunch of tooling and upgrades. I would recommend something of this size if you're doing smaller pieces like me. I do a lot of spacers and bushings. I'd definitely recommend a larger used lathe versus a smaller new lathe. Get the largest one you can fit/afford. I have limited lathe experience, but this one is certainly better than the old South Bend my father has. It cuts steel without a problem. The mill combo is very space efficient. I do wish I had a larger one, but only occasionally

Thanks. We'll see how the handlebars turn out and take another look at this sissy bar. I am hoping it works 🤞
I want to do this with a large twin motor like one from harb
or freight
What lathe do you have, and do you recommend it? Does it handle steel well?

do you have to be certified welder to make and sell your products
I don't have any products 😔. So any advice I might give on that would likely be inaccurate 😀
