The triumph... speedmaster has them I believe. Should be able to pick up a pair fairly cheap.

They are fairly expensive from bike bandit.

If worse comes to worst, you can always bend some bar stock.

Check out Scraps bars, I think he made them from a water pipe

 

[endo]

I got mine for $25 from a local shop...

 

[INVINCIBLE73]

i dont want them bent... i just want straight.

If you just want a straight bar why not buy yourself a 7/8" OD steel tube and cut it to length? Then you could have it powdercoated or spraypaint it or something.

First of all the word tubing itself means "a hollow cylinder". So saying "hollow tubing" doesn't really make sense. Just for future reference...

There's countless places to find it. Home Depot, Ace, local material distributors, online (McMasterCarr). Possibilities are endless.

Here you go bud.

7/8" DOM steel in a 3ft lenght. $6.00

Or in aluminum...

http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=6891&step=4&showunits=inches&id=71&top_cat=60

Same size and diameter= $8.00

And they ship to your door.

BTW, the stuff you get at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. is not gona work for bars. They don't have anything close to 7/8". It's an odd size that home builders have no use for. The closest thing to that size is going to be 1/2" Scheduale 40 water pipe. witch measures 0.840 OD. What you need is 0.875 OD. It's close, but my not clamp tight enough for controls.

I did make my bars using a section of 1" Scheduale 40 pipe. It measures out to 1 1/8" witch works good with MX Fat bar risers. Although I had to weld pieces of 7/8" bar to the ends to fit my controls.

 

[The Green Lantern]

just go to a metal scrap yard dude,pay for shipping and ill send you some

 

[INVINCIBLE73]

really? drag bars or just scrap tubing?

 

[The Green Lantern]

just tubing,but if you really want somethin done to em i probally could

 

[INVINCIBLE73]

i really appreciate it greeny, but i think i'm gonna pick up some tubing tomorrow and see what i can do. i do like the feel of my mx bars though... i might just keep em. gee i dunno. i might switch and switch back.... AHHHHHH im goin crazy!!!

 

[katana john]

I droped my first bike so many times I started using 1/2" or 3/4 water pipe.
Cost about .22 cents to replace when I bent it.{ this was in the mid 80s.}
Paint it Black and go.....

 

[BLONDE BOMBER]

I've got 7/8" drag bars on my rat, but drag bars are going to be slightly bent. Then again, they're only $12ish. I second the suggestion of buying straight 7/8" tubing off the internet if you want the straight drag bars.
