Cafe hoop, any good resources?
« on: February 19, 2013, 05:39:02 AM »
ive seen the one dime city has to offer, which is nice, just seems a little pricey. Any other resources to buy a hoop for the back of my 76 cb550?

it's not overly difficult to make one yourself by welding to bent pieces together.

I've got a few "rejects" that I made up I'll sell you. Only reason I didn't use them was i #$%*ed up bending them up after the initial loop but the loop is flat and fine if you plan to have the hoop in plan with the frame. 8.5-9" across same diameter steel as the frame.
