How to make Motorcycle Crash Bars for $25 DIY

How to make motorcycle crash bars using old shopping carts

[@shahdinkhan9493]

You have just motivated me for building custom crash bars. Really amazing work!

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Thanks

[@mannyagrinya1529]

Excellent work! Great inspiration for me. I'd been looking all over for used crash bars for my MC (crash bars no longer manufactured for the model year), this gives me an idea of a different path I could take.

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Thank you

[@LS-jk3fk]

what kind of shipping carts did you have with tubes that thick shaped like that? i had originally thought you heat bent and welded your own.

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Home Depot

[@gibraltarperou3373]

Good job Man

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Amazing work, Jacek. I am in awe of your project. Where are you based?

[@jaceksuchon4717]

[@Yamaha3vd]

Perfect 🎉

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Thank you

[@joerobertson289]

Nice job 👍

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Thanks

[@mightron]

Do you use inserts for bending? Also what paint and primer do you use? Outstanding work!

[@jaceksuchon4717]

I didn't bend those tubes
Primer Home Depot spray
Paint Tremclad oli based
Thanks

[@mightron]

@@jaceksuchon4717 Oh, you bought them pre-bent? That's cool.

[@jaceksuchon4717]

No I used tubes harvested from old shopping carts

[@10vingers]

$25, if you have worth of thousands of equipment ;). But nice work.

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Thanks

[@KeepOnRecord]

Nicely done.
What's the weak point (that would break in the event of a crash)? The thin metal bracket (at 15:05)? It's a bit close to the engine, so hopefully it holds still.
Let us know when you'll mount the coffee cup holder to it:)

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Let's hope I will never find out

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Actuaiiy cup holder would be nice

[@KeepOnRecord]

@@jaceksuchon4717 My own idea for a motorcycle crash cage would also have mounts for bluetooth speakers or gas canisters (for each side).
*Made modular and removable, with safety and practicality in mind of course
But the cup holder is actually useful. I'd put a newspaper holder on the other side just for laughs :) *I'd make it fit a small laptop bag tbh😀
Looking forward to your future projects!

[@jaceksuchon4717]

@@KeepOnRecord Thanks

[@brendaknox368]

Got the cup holder yet?

[@isuuck898]

How to make cheap crash bars? Buy over $15.000 worth of tools...

[@1zanglang]

You must be joking. First of all, the tools you saw in this video would never ever cost 15 thousand dollars. And secondly, the man had already a shop and the tools. And you should figured out, he's quite skilled fabricator. So, when you have the tools and skills, it is a shame to pay hundreds of dollars on things like crash bars.

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Ok

[@k3v1nsk1]

You forgot to mention tools for 10.000 $ :)

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Sorry

[@timothywhieldon1971]

price is so low.. because you have 2 grand of tools and $50 in materials...

[@jaceksuchon4717]

Ok

[@BIBIWCICC]

Such a shame Husquavarna was taken over. The 701 is truly an awful bike with horrible flaws.

[@jaceksuchon4717]

If you say so

[@willem9620]

Looks awesome!
