:stups:there used to be some 0* bars on ebay in the kawi section that were all cut, bent, and powdercoated at the same shop for 20 bucks. but i do not know if they used a thickwalled tube or not. if you insist on useing a cheap bar make sure you keep the stock rubber pad on it so when it smacks you in the chest after it breaks it wont hurt as bad, mabey you wont even crack a rib.:stups: buying some used is your best bet to save cash.
