After purchasing a Maverick Low Rider seat I soon realized I need to move the foot controls forward in front of the headers. So, (with guidance from several BA mems) I purchsed a spare control bar from Pinwall and have proceeded to cobble a modified control bar from the spare.
Dremel tools are great for this stuff!
Cut the mounting flanges from the bar, turned bar 180 deg for new flange placements.
Note the white marking on the control bar to aid in weldment location
Ready to weld flanges. Note I mounted the flanges @ the proper spacing (after much measuring/remeasuring) and at as close to the proper angle (shimmed to obtain the angle) to a chunk of plywood to ease the welding process & obtain the correct fit to the frame upon completion.
Preparing to cut the Control end weldments
Control end weldments cut. Still need to rotate the control ends 180 deg, and add about 1 & 1/2 inches of pipe to the control bar ends to achieve a 19-20 inch spread between the controls mounting faces.
I now need to mod the control ends (to remove the weldment mounting ends & radius from the casting) so they can be positioned correctly and refitting/welding them to the control bar
More pics to follow as work progresses.
