well come to find out i have a piece of tubing i wont be needing not sure of diameter but is 10' long i will post when i find out
fyi if you dont know shit about steel have somebody order who does!
otherwise you get stuck with steel you dont need if its a cut piece that is
costly lesson learned
also tube fenders should be (d.o.m.) steel not just any old steel/ another fun filled fact
not a good day
Frak kia broke down it's in the shop

:tu2: Agree. Use DOM for cages and things to protect you. HREW is fine for fenders.

Hrew is just fine, but I'm guessing since its from Midwest, its 1; the wrong size or 2; it was pipe. Last time I went through them they gave me 1 5/8, when I asked for 1 1/2. Ozzy you maybe able to take it back if they gave you the wrong stuff. I took back what they wronged me on.

my guess would be that midwest and c henry are pretty much the same place. its probably covered in rust and that wont go on the machine.

Pretty much. They are brothers. You can get a lot of tube from inside at Henry's. That's where I got mine from them. Just the wrong size

I used Midwest as a supplier for about 6 months, a year or so ago.
They always told me that they did not stock round tube, only pipe.
They do stock a less expensive version of pipe that is essentually round tube made to pipe size.
1 1/4" sch40 pipe measures roughly 1 5/8"od, I'm sure that is what they sold Blue.

to be honest i actually have told somebody i would sell them to him when i was done with tube fenders frt/rear but if i find out he dont want/cant afford them then i will be selling them as a set
they r in pretty good shape the only issue is some of the mounting holes r a little larger in diameter thanks to 2 different trees @ patlands i just used a little larger washer also lost some of the original bolts,screws,washers, spacers

txs fatbagz not sure i like the look or wear on my rear door but i do like having a little more room in the back

maybe i will ask topper what rears would cost me and see if i can push up the sale of the set :? :)
