  2. Kris Holm actually designed and built this? It seems more like a EB
    handle.

    and use.

  9. Evan,

    The fabrication work you are doing is great practice, even if the
    results aren't always practical. I am glad to see any young person
    spending time making things. You are lucky to have the resources to do
    it, as was I at your age.

    I am looking forward to trying your handle out in Kansas. 😉

  10. It looks like the front bumper on a highway patrol car. Ready to knock
    anything out of the way! You might want to do some UPD tests with that
    handle to make sure your pants don't get caught on it. If you're using
    it on a Coker this is especially important!

  13. If you can't foreward dismount, what happens in a UPD? I don't think
    it's practical, it doesn't even have any grips. It is good fun to make
    and design things even if they aren't practical, though. You might want
    to think a little bit more about the design next time before you just
    start welding.

    To quote you from a little earlier:
    "the only down side is no frontward dismounts." If your burly handle
    works for you, that's great. But there's no such thing as "no frontward
    dismounts." I've been riding over 25 years, and I still can't say no to
    them.

    So be careful.

    Then if you think of improvements you can add them to the next handle.
    That's the great thing about designing and building your own stuff. You
    have a monster handle. I think it looks cool, but you're going to have
    to watch out for getting caught on it.

  17. hey evan

    i know that this handle has already been made by a few companys but why
    dont you have a go and try to make it your own style some how.

    maybe if you make a handle like this to a high standard i will be
    intrested in purchaseing one from you.

    thanks

    joe

  18. experience is the best teacher...go do some big drops with it, then come

    used for tens of thousands of years...

  19. um, yeah, go crash on that a few times and if you still have your man
    bits, then we might think it's an alright handle. i'm gonna stick with
    the reeder handle though. no offense.

  20. Just what are "your uses"?What does it work great for?

    It looks like it would be heavy.....
    maybe you should cut some rubber stuff and put it over those sharp
    edges.

    I wish i had the stuff to do stuff like that.I need it.
