Just be careful some of those tube rear bars are copyrighted

With Copyright it is OK to make a bar for yourself but you cant go into production.

The thing you have to understand is that if you believed my coment to be serious then you were "COPYWRONG". If someone was to do this then it would be a patent on a product. OK MK.
Thanks for the pic you took anyway, it helped with a problem on another subject. :wink:
I hope there wasn't a COPYRIGHT on the photo.

That bar looks good, only thing I'd change would be to run the towbar higher between the two bits of tube and get a better departure angle.

That bar would do me fine.
I need to keep my tow-bar low like that to protect my long range fuel tank.
Yeah, I like that bar a lot.

when you do a bodt lift , go the effort & get your fuel tank raised as well !!!!!
2" doesnt sound much to lift the tank , but the clearance gain is awsome !!!
