He's a gonna dig those over long things hard in on a sharp mountain turn and hurty hisself when he lifts the wheels off the road.

Thinner wall tube stock I could understand, but solid stock that large is quite heavy and because it is soooo durn strong it actually poses a bit of a danger when the eventual road accident comes along.

I think normal "crash bars" are intended to hold the bike up in minor incidents, but are designed to bend in a major crash and absorb some of the deadly energy doing so.

Yours will dig in hard, stay strong and flip the bike up into the air and make a spinning ninja death star out of it.

well boys ... being a welder/fabricator and a avid motorcyclist for over forty years, for starters, these bars, witch is hard to see from the photos barely protrude any further out than the stock forward controls, also , they are designed to give and bend if the need be. but to be honest, having production road raced, my last concern at falling down at a speed that would actually have enough enertia to "flip" the bike, would be the bike flipping and getting damaged  falling down on its side, with the weight of the bike would simply bend the bars upward, and a hit from the front would bend them back, as far as the ends go , i plan on welding (6) 5/8 x 1 1/2 flat washers 5/8 apart for pegs (chromed) with a larger one at each end to keep a boot from sliding off, in any event ill supply photos when its all complete, and a pic of the drag shoot off the sissybar to slow the spinning...

finally finished, time to rideeeeeee!

Assuming they do indeed give in the event of scraping or accident, I like em'! The black makes for a nice finish.

I'm very mindful of what others have said here in regards to what scrapes the pavement when I ride my own or (particularly if I choose to ride a friend's) sled.

ty babyhog, ya I wouldnt recommend moccasins...lol and there will definetly be no resting the hamstring on them as well,  but other than that the positioning is really comfortable!

i like the idea. i was thinking about doing something like this, but i want to get my forward controls on first to see where and how i'd mount them.

where did you get that clamp?

and if you do happen to slid/wreck/fall and those pegs do catch, they'll just bend. that solid stock will bend much easier than tubing will, thin wall or not.
